Clearly defines what you most need to know. In plain language, the book explains concepts and processes you most need to know, including: Single- versus double-entry bookkeeping, Cash versus accrual basis accounting, Posting financial transactions, Keeping a ""paper trail"" of source documents, Preparing a trial balance, Creating financial statements, Establishing internal controls, Preparing for your annual audit, Closing out your fiscal year.

 Just what I was looking for October 30, 2008

I needed a crash course in setting up a chart of accounts for a small not-for-profit organization. I have studied basic bookkeeping and accounting in school, but it did not go into nonprofit and fund accounting. This book was a great help.
 Good resource for the basic concepts May 15, 2006

Clear, practical and well-organized resource for new bookkeepers and accounting students without bookkeeping experience who want to better understand the accounting cycle. Very user-friendly.

The book is very good for an understanding of bookkeeping for non-profits with many reminders, charts and instructions. It continually emphasized what was discussed in earlier chapters. And, it gave a review of the bookkeeping basics. There is a lot of information for medium to large non-profits. The book discusses accrual and cash basis. This book would be a good tool for a medium or large organization. The book gave me confidence to do the job as treasurer of a small non-profit as I was reminded of the things I learned in accounting classes that I had many years ago.
