Review
"This book is written from a corporate finance perspective - with a specific focus on cash management. In addition to content on core financial management processes, there are also chapters on managing mission and strategy; structure, accountability, and ethics; and information technology and knowledge management. This text is well organized. Each chapter begins with a detailed table of contents; there is also an extensive index and a few glossaries defining key technical terms. In conclusion, it is a thorough, well-organized guide to nonprofit finance." (Journal of Administration in Social Work, Vol 34, Issue 1)

Aimed at the Non-Professional,
By
This review is from: Financial Management for Nonprofit Organizations: Policies and Practices (Hardcover)
It may come as a surprise to learn that non-profits account for some 1/7 of the US economy. Non-profits vary from huge operations like the major museums, universities and foundations down to the local theatre group putting on a play once or twice a year.
As a non-profit grows, so do the requirements for financial management. The organization may begin to get a variety of assets, there may be needs to manage investments or trust funds, there may be debts, and of course there is fundraising. The other side of this is a requirement for financial reporting, not the least of which is the impact of Sarbanes-Oxley which had increased the responsibilites placed upon the management. This book is aimed at the financial manager who may have gotten the responsibility without formal training, business-only- training and of course too little time and too few support staff to do the job. It is specifically aimed at the small, resourse-constrained organization, as well as for larger operations. This is a very complete book, not all of which will be needed by most organizations, but which may become more important as the organization grows.

The most complete financial management resource for nonprofits,

This review is from: Financial Management for Nonprofit Organizations: Policies and Practices (Hardcover)
So many of us enter the third sector with a lot of passion for our particular interest, but not much know-how of the specific financial issues facing nonprofits. This book is one stop shopping for the beginner and the seasoned ED or Development Director.

This review is from: Financial Management for Nonprofit Organizations: Policies and Practices (Hardcover)
This is a good book...well written, but dry, which should be expected of an accounting book. It presents the material in a very approachable way.
