FWIW, LYRASIS used to have a team that did the financial work for associations and a couple years ago I talked with that group about what the service would look like and how much it would cost. There is a thread in the Code4LibCon group from three years ago on the topic: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/code4libcon/54T89JuFrcU/discussion LYRASIS has since stopped offering that specific service (although we now do something similar on behalf of the ArchivesSpace project). I could run another request up the flag pole if there was sufficient interest from the community.
