This book will help bookkeepers new to non-profit accounting. The book goes into detail, showing actual entries, and the reasoning behind them. It also points out dos and don'ts, basic accrual accounting, and what reporting an accountant will need for the 990 form. The book is a primer for the non-profit bookkeeper and/or organization treasurer.

Good book, great illustrations. Very clear. However, if you've been doing corporate accounting for a number of years, this is pretty basic. Better for someone with limited experience. I was hoping for something a little more advanced.

This is a wonderful guide for those taking up the task of doing the books for a nonprofit organization. It is chock full of information, yet it is in an easy to read format that the beginner or lay person will understand.

Bookkeeping for Nonprofits is extremely user-friendly, giving you all the information you need to set up an accounting system for a nonprofit in a very simple manner.

This is an excellent resource.

Useful, relatively easy tor read reference on not-for-profit (NFP) accounting, generally aimed at non-finance/accounting person. Not so useful for an organization using cash accounting methods (versus accrual), common in smaller NFPs. Some good ideas for low-end (i.e., <$50K income/year) NFP BOD members.

Having taken over as the Treasurer of a small non profit I decided that I needed a refresher course. The last time I took a course in non profits was in the spring of 1960. I was glad to see that there is a standard chart of accounts and the the main difference in accounting from for profits is how the profit is handled and how to handle specifically earmarked funds. Some of the treatments could be a little cleared and with some better examples. But,a good start

Excellent presentation on the essentials of accounting for nonprofit organizations. Many simple examples of typical and unusual transactions.
