Introducing A-ScoreSM, the low-cost, highly effective way to gauge your non-profit's financial health. And, provide an effective, understandable tool for communication with Board members and executive management staff.
 
What is A-Score?
In testing and development since 1999, A-Score represents the first measurable scoring model for assessing financial stability of a non-profit. A-Score was developed by Jerry Archibald and Mark Waterstram of Bonadio & Co., LLP. Jerry and Mark are both CPA's with a collective 50+ years of experience in serving the non-profit industry.
A-Score employs 12 readily available financial ratios and operating indicators to develop a “score” as a predictor of financial stability. It is an easy to understand model that rates non-profit organizations on a familiar one hundred point scale, while providing benchmark comparisons to peers and “best in class” organizations.
