From account to fully operational
Open your account
Set up your organisation, projects and funding sources. Add staff, field workers and the donors you work with. Your grant management system stays exactly where it is.
Track your grants
Record grant amounts, conditions and reporting schedules. Tag expenses to the right project and funder from the first transaction.
Spend and pay
Pay staff salaries, field worker allowances and programme expenses from the same account. Every payment is linked to its project and grant.
Report and close
Generate donor reports, reconcile expenditures against budgets and close your books with every receipt in place.
Know exactly where every grant naira goes
Each grant is set up with its budget, conditions and reporting deadlines. Every expense is tagged to the correct project and funder the moment it is recorded. The finance team sees how much has been spent, how much remains and whether the grant is on track — without digging through spreadsheets.
- Grant budgets tracked against actual expenditure in real time
- Multi-donor reporting with project-level segregation
- Condition tracking so compliance deadlines are never missed
- Automated burn-rate alerts when spending approaches limits
Pay every field worker on time, no matter the location
Community health workers, programme officers and field coordinators all have different pay structures and locations. Niimbu calculates deductions, sends payments to each account and records the full audit trail, whether the worker is in Lagos, Kano or a rural programme site.
- Allowances, transport and per diem calculated per assignment
- Payments sent directly to each field worker's account
- Full audit trail linking payment to project and activity
- Bulk payment processing for large field teams
The financial pain points every NGO finance team knows
Without Niimbu
- Grant expenditure tracked in spreadsheets that are updated weeks after the money moves
- Field worker payments processed through personal accounts with no audit trail
- Donor reports assembled manually from multiple sources with mismatched figures
- Project budgets compared to actual spend only at quarter-end or audit time
- Multiple accounts for grants, operations and staff salaries
- Compliance deadlines missed because no one is tracking grant conditions centrally
With Niimbu
- Every grant tracked from receipt to final report in one place
- Field worker payments processed with full project tagging and receipts attached
- Donor reports generated from live data with expenditure matched to budget lines
- Budget versus actual visible in real time for every project and grant
- One account for all grant funds, operations and payroll
- Compliance calendar with automated reminders for every reporting deadline

Missed compliance deadlines
Before Niimbu, donor reports took two weeks to compile because expenditure data lived in five different spreadsheets. Now the finance team generates an accurate report in a single afternoon.

Questions NGO finance teams ask
Everything you need to know about the financial side of running your NGO on Niimbu.
Does Niimbu replace our grant management system?
No. Niimbu is the financial layer that works alongside your grant management and programme systems. Your existing systems for grant applications, programme reporting and donor communications stay exactly where they are. Niimbu handles the money side — grant tracking, project accounting, field worker payments and funder reports.
Can Niimbu handle multiple grants from different donors?
Yes. Each grant is set up as a separate budget with its own conditions, reporting schedule and expenditure tracking. Expenses are tagged to the correct grant and funder automatically, so donor reports are always accurate.
Can I pay field workers across different states?
Yes. Niimbu processes payments to field workers regardless of location. Each worker's allowances, transport and per diem are calculated per their assignment, and the payment goes directly to their account with the full audit trail attached.
How do donor reports work?
Niimbu generates financial reports per grant showing expenditure against each budget line. The data comes directly from recorded transactions, so the report reflects actual spending. You can export the report in the format your donor requires.
Can different projects have separate budgets?
Yes. You set up each project with its own budget, funded by one or more grants. Every transaction is tagged to the correct project and grant, so you see actual spend versus budget for each project at any time.
Does Niimbu handle foreign currency grants?
Niimbu records the grant amount in the original currency and tracks the naira equivalent at the exchange rate at the time of receipt. Subsequent expenditure is recorded in naira with the original grant value preserved for reporting.
Can I track grant conditions and compliance deadlines?
Yes. Each grant can have conditions attached — reporting schedules, audit requirements and fund utilisation deadlines. The compliance calendar tracks these and sends reminders before they are due so no deadline is missed.
How does procurement work for programme supplies?
The programme team raises a purchase order against the relevant project and grant. A manager approves it, the supplier is engaged and when goods arrive the order is matched. The full audit trail links the purchase to the grant and project.
What does it cost to get started?
Opening an account is free and there is no monthly platform fee. Grant tracking, project accounting and field worker payments are included from the first day. You pay transaction fees only when money moves — salaries, supplier payments and field worker allowances.
