About Lychee Accounting

Lychee Accounting is a purpose-driven platform built to revolutionize how small community organizations manage donor funds. Our mission? To simplify financial accountability and help ensure every precious dollar delivers its intended impact.

The Challenge

Across the globe, community-based organizations face a barrier: every donor demands a different accounting and reporting system. These requirements are often inconsistent, burdensome, and difficult for small partners to comply with — which can delay or even derail funding, leaving vital programs under-supported.

Our Solution

Lychee Accounting tackles this head-on with a unified, easy-to-use system for simplified double‑entry accounting. By adopting one globally recognized standard, our platform enables:

  • Consistency & Clarity: Donors and implementing partners use the same model — reducing confusion and administrative friction.
  • Institutional Capacity: Learning a single system builds the lasting financial competency of community organizations.
  • Enhanced Trust & Scaling: Transparent accounting builds donor confidence, paving the way for scalable impact.
  • Accessible Learning: Our support ecosystem includes instructional videos, webinars, forums, and help lines.
  • Global Peer Support: Organizations can share best practices and collaborate across regions using a common framework.

Our Vision

We advocate for a globally accepted standard of simplified accounting — one that is accessible, sustainable, and built for the communities who drive real-world change.

Founders & Stewardship

Lychee Accounting is created by Accountable Partners, renowned for championing transparent and accessible financial reporting. Rooted in their principle – Simple is Transparent. Simple is Accessible. Simple is Sustainable. The original handwritten system which is still in use today and the foundation for Lychee was designed by two former Peace Corps Volunteers. Lychee builds on Accountable Partners’ vision to ensure community organizations can confidently manage funds down to the last dollar.

Why It Matters

Our platform does more than streamline bookkeeping. It fosters trust, builds organizational strength, and helps communities deliver on promises — to donors and, more importantly, to the people they serve.
