Tesseract helps nonprofits & small businesses fix and manage their finances.
We are not traditional bookkeepers.
While bookkeeping is part of our toolkit, we are really part-time CFOs, helping companies understand their finances so that they can understand their business. We work specifically with companies that desire clarity and peace of mind about their money. Our clients feel relief and stability knowing that their finances are in expert hands, which gives them the time and space to focus on growing their business.
We have your back.
Like all of our clients, we are a small business. We believe that nonprofits and small businesses have a unique ability to build community, promote empathy, and strengthen the economy. They are also a key component to a sustainable future for all of us. At Tesseract, we are in service to them and the bold, intrepid people who run them.
Whether you run a nonprofit organization or a for-profit small business, we’re here to help and will always have your back.
Find peace of mind about your company’s money.
Serving
Nonprofits
Nonprofits, or as we prefer to say, for-purpose organizations, require an advanced level of financial management to satisfy donors, funders, and the government. Yet, most nonprofits were started by dynamic arts and social justice practitioners who’s greatest skills lie elsewhere. We can help.
We’ll support the vital work you’re doing advancing your organization’s mission by giving you financial clarity, literacy, and peace of mind. And you’ll have more time to do the important work that only you can do.
Serving
Small Businesses
There are over 30 million small businesses in the United States providing over 60 million jobs and impacting local communities in immeasurable ways. These companies are the lifeblood of the economy. Yet, they have shockingly few options for one-on-one expert financial support at a price they can afford. We are changing that.
We’ll support the vital work you’re doing building your small business by giving you financial clarity, literacy, and peace of mind. And you’ll have more time to do the important work that only you can do.
We can help fix and manage your finances through four primary services:
Core Financial Management
Payroll Support
Budgeting &
Future Planning
Business Office Management
We understand that each business is unique, so we offer every client a tailored combination of these services to maximize our impact. While we work only on retainer, our pricing is equitable and based on a sliding scale according to your business’ annual revenue.

About Us
Tesseract was founded in 2022 to be in service to nonprofits and small businesses.
We value authenticity and unconventionality.
We work with clients we trust and who trust us.
We are problem solvers, never satisfied with the status quo. We ask ourselves everyday: how can we make our work, our approach, and our relationships better?
Most importantly, we don’t take ourselves too seriously and think laughter and lightheartedness are essential work skills.
You’re in Good Company.
Tesseract is proud to be supporting these companies doing meaningful work in their communities:

The work done by Tesseract has been truly amazing as it offers me as an Executive Director the time to focus on the other many responsibilities I have. Their work has fully given me peace of mind when it comes to our financial operations. Muntu Dance Theatre is blessed to have such hard working, dedicated, skilled, focused and all around dynamic people on our team. My job is so much easier having them.

Cameron and Tesseract have helped me understand my business FULLY. I was in a time of major transition with a partner leaving the business and a refinance on our building- and Tesseract doing payroll and analysis of our books allowed me to do the high-level work of keeping my business thriving through the transitions. I'm so grateful for their work, professionalism, and kindness!
