Background

About Ed Wielage

I help small nonprofit organizations simplify their bookkeeping, strengthen financial transparency, and make informed decisions based on accurate financial information.Before founding Cogent Bookkeeping, I spent 15 years as a practicing CPA, working closely with businesses and nonprofits to improve financial reporting and internal processes. Later, my partner and I developed and marketed two accounting software applications for the profession — one focused specifically on budgeting and forecasting. That experience gave me deep insight into how thoughtful budgeting and ongoing “budget vs. actual” analysis can help organizations plan effectively and make better financial decisions.Today, I use that combination of accounting expertise and practical tools to support nonprofits that don’t have in-house accounting staff. My goal is to make your bookkeeping clear, compliant, and easy to understand — and to provide meaningful reports your board can actually use.If your organization could benefit from dependable bookkeeping support or better insight into your financial performance, I’d love to connect and learn more about your needs.
