About us

The back office for youth sports.

Every dollar accounted for.

The problem

Every year, youth sports organizations move hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars through their books. Registration, dues, tournament fees, concessions, pull-tabs, sponsorships. And not one of them has a tool built for the job.

So every treasurer invents a system. A spreadsheet here, a bank login there, a QuickBooks instance, a personal Venmo, a shoebox of receipts. Tools that were never meant to talk to each other, and don't. Excel was built for accountants. QuickBooks was built for businesses. Venmo was built for splitting brunch. The community bank was built for tellers. None of it was built for a volunteer running a million-dollar organization.

The result is a back office that is manual, invisible, and an open target for fraud. The reconciling, the categorizing, the chasing down receipts, all of it falls to volunteer boards to do by hand on their nights and weekends. And the exposure isn't from carelessness. The honest organization and the one that got robbed look identical from the outside, and the tools give no one a way to prove the difference.

Youth sports nonprofits file with the IRS every year, and behind each one is a volunteer holding a signature line for money they often cannot fully see. When it goes wrong, it rarely starts as theft. It starts as a gap no one could close.

Who we are

We are building the back office for youth sports.

Our founders have started and led multiple technology and service companies, including SportsEngine, where we spent years watching the front end of youth sports raise hundreds of millions of dollars while the back end was left to run on spare parts. We saw the problem first-hand. It has been sitting in plain sight, ignored, until now. We founded Reliever to fix it.

What we do

Reliever is the back office youth sports never had. One system for the books, the bank, the cards, and the filings, in place of the half-dozen tools that don't connect today.

We put the whole organization behind one login, so the board can see every team account in one place. We handle the compliance a generalist can't reach, the 990, the 990-T, the pull-tab and charitable-gaming filings. And we lead with proof: a free two-year look-back across an organization's existing accounts, handed to the board before anyone changes a thing.

We say every dollar is accounted for, and we mean it, because that is a claim you can prove to the board and to the families who trusted you with the money.

We are actively working with associations to solve their back office needs.
