Built for public gardens
We know public gardens: multiple earned revenue streams, living collections, seasonal peaks and slowdowns, grant compliance, donor expectations — we already speak your language.
Flexible by design
Whether you're a mid-sized regional garden in need of strategic CFO support or a larger institution scaling your operations, we scope our work to fit your needs, growth stage, and budget.
A true financial partner
We work alongside your team attending board meetings, joining leadership conversations, and acting as a genuine partner rather than an outside vendor delivering reports no one reads.
Systems that work
We build functional, scalable systems your team can actually use. Our approach brings together data engineering and accounting best practices to give you clean, reliable financial infrastructure.
End-to-end support
With us, you've got one trusted partner across your entire finance function. We can handle systems implementations, day-to-day accounting, controllership and oversight, and long-term strategy.
Insight, not just data
Accurate data matters. But useful data matters more. We design practical reporting frameworks that give your board and leadership teams a clear picture of the past, present, and future.
Case Study
A botanical garden, an acquisition, and an accounting system that had to catch up.
When Powell Gardens acquired a second site mid-year, their entire accounting structure needed to be redesigned to accommodate the change. See how a data engineering approach made it possible to accomplish this in a single day.
