Nonprofits play a vital role in our communities, working tirelessly to support important causes and drive meaningful change. However, managing the financial side of a nonprofit can be challenging, especially for newer organizations still learning how to navigate bookkeeping, payroll, and compliance requirements. This is where financial experts like Mark Prokop step in, helping nonprofits build strong financial foundations so they can focus on their missions.
Mark Prokop, the founder and CEO of Pro Financial Fitness, has spent years dedicated to supporting North Carolina nonprofits. Through services like bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, consulting, and board of director retreats, he helps organizations stay financially healthy and mission-focused.
Mark’s journey into entrepreneurship began after years of working in the nonprofit sector. Starting as an entry-level bookkeeper, he climbed the ranks to leadership roles, even serving as an executive director three times—one for an organization he founded. When the world shut down in March 2020, and he lost his job, he took the leap into business ownership. Encouraged by his peers, he launched Pro Financial Fitness to share his expertise and fill a critical gap in nonprofit financial management.
Like any entrepreneur, Mark faced challenges, particularly in adapting to the for-profit world after years in government and nonprofit work. To navigate this shift, he sought insights from seasoned business professionals, learning valuable lessons about making sound financial and operational decisions. Reflecting on his journey, he emphasizes the importance of perseverance, stating, “Success is a journey with a beginning, middle, and end. Just like in life, we must get up every day and push forward, knowing that progress comes from persistence, adaptability, and continuous effort.”
Mark primarily works with young nonprofits, typically between zero and five years old, helping them understand the financial side of running an organization. In addition to nonprofit consulting, he offers tax and accounting services in Chapel Hill, NC, ensuring organizations stay compliant and financially stable. Those interested in his services can reach him at mark@profinancialfitness.com or visit profinancialfitness.com.
Beyond his services, Mark offers five ways to support Pro Financial Fitness. From purchasing branded t-shirts to sponsoring nonprofit Q&A webinars, individuals and businesses can contribute to strengthening North Carolina’s nonprofit community. He also welcomes guest speakers to share insights during these sessions.
