Banking and fund accounting, on one ledger.

Mazlo is fiscal sponsorship software with banking and fund accounting built in, for fiscal sponsors and nonprofits. Every sponsored project gets a project account,* so you can view each project’s allocated balance and activity in one place. Spend requests, card purchases, donations, grants and reports all run on one ledger. Run your fund accounting in Mazlo, or keep your accounting system as the general ledger and let Mazlo send it coded transactions.

*Project accounts are Sub Accounts: internal allocation accounts within your organization’s Primary Checking at Midland States Bank. They do not receive separate FDIC insurance coverage.

Set up a project account in minutes.*

  • Balances by project, updated in real time**
  • Subprojects roll up to their parent
  • Project leaders see only their own money
How project accounts work

*Bank account opening is subject to eligibility, verification, and approval.
**Balances reflect activity received by Mazlo. Pending transactions, deposit holds and processing times may affect available funds.
