Single Audit preparation for nonprofits
Find the missing records before your auditor does.
Answer a few questions about your records and see exactly which gaps to close first, and how. Then fix them yourselves with a clear method, or hand the preparation to us.
Up to 16 yes, partial or no questions. See what’s missing and what to fix first. No documents.
Why it matters
You have the records. Finding and connecting them on deadline is the problem.
- The same receipt is requested for the third time.
- Award schedules, payroll support and approvals live in different folders.
- The spending-by-award schedule lives in one person’s spreadsheet, and only they can explain it.
- Your finance lead has a full workload before preparation even starts.
How it gets fixed
A folder full of files isn’t a binder.
A useful binder connects each item on your auditor’s request list to the right record, period and owner. It also shows what’s missing while there’s still time to fix it.
That’s the work: organize, index and cross-check your existing records, and list the open questions. Your accounting owner and independent auditor keep their decisions.

Who you’ll work with
Careful preparation. Clear responsibilities.
I’m Mike Richert, founder of Audit Ready Grants in Eagle, Idaho. I spent twelve years as a software engineer, where the work is making complicated systems traceable. I bring the same discipline to federal-award records: finding, indexing and cross-checking what your auditor will ask for, so your finance lead isn’t pulled off their job to do it.
Audit Ready Grants is not a CPA firm. I don’t perform audits or attest services, make accounting, legal, tax or compliance determinations, or promise an audit outcome. When a question belongs with your accountant or auditor, I’ll say so plainly.

Anything else? Email hello@auditreadygrants.com and you’ll hear back from the person who does the work.
What will the Readiness Score tell us?
Every gap your answers show, in priority order with the critical ones marked, and a first action for each. It’s based on your answers, not your documents, and it isn’t a compliance determination. You can save or print it.
What information do you collect?
Answers about your records, a few facts about your audit, and your contact details. Preparation tips by email are optional. No financial documents, credentials or sensitive records belong in a website form. Read the privacy policy.
Do we need to buy something before getting help?
No. Use the Workbook for a method, the Binder Kit for a missing policy, or ask about a Sprint directly if you already know the backlog. A free result can also be enough.
Our fieldwork has started. Can a Sprint still help?
Possibly. The three weeks start when we have access to your existing records, so a close date needs an honest check first. Ask, and we’ll tell you whether we can help in time.
