Using QuickBooks for Nonprofit Organizations, Associations and Clubs
Accounting for nonprofit organizations can be quite different than for-profit businesses. Most books and guides available today are focused on either QuickBooks(r) or nonprofit accounting alone, but not both.
Geared toward people without QuickBooks experience, Using QuickBooks(r) for Nonprofit Organizations, Associations & Clubs shows the reader how to set up and use QuickBooks(r) in a nonprofit environment. Lisa London, The Accountant Beside You, walks you through QuickBooks for Nonprofit Organizations from start to finish. With her friendly easy-to-understand style, and step-by-step instructions and screenshots, Lisa guides new QuickBooks users every step of the way, while her tips for how to make QuickBooks work better for nonprofits provides new procedures for even the experienced bookkeeper. Not only does she take you through how to set up QuickBooks and utilize it more efficiently for your organization, but she also covers everything you need to know to implement controls and procedures to ensure that your money is always protected.
The step-by-step instructions and hundreds of screen shots explain how to:
Manage member dues, fundraisers, and trips
Track grants and contracts
Allocate overhead to programs & grants
Set up internal accounting controls to protect the money
Customize forms Track volunteer hours and much more.
Using QuickBook for Nonprofit Organizations, Associations, & Clubs includes sample charts of accounts for
associations,
PTAs,
private schools,
scouting troops,
and civic groups.
Covers all Windows editions of QuickBooks. Check out Lisa's QuickTips Blog at www.accountantbesideyou.com for tips and videos.
Here's what verified Amazon purchaser's have to say about Lisa London's flagship book, QuickBooks(r) for Churches and Other Religious Organizations:
"I have been a church treasurer for more than 8 years and purchased this book to help "grow" our church QB system to automate reports and information required by our diocese and to track some nuanced restricted/unrestricted gifts. I found it helpful as a reference for best practices that go beyond Quickbooks accounting AND as a "how-to" manual with straightforward, step-by-step instructions to set up the chart of accounts, the item list and other specific QB tools. I'd recommend this as an office reference for churches of all sizes and accounting systems." Lois Wallenhost
"We are transitioning from Quicken to Quickbooks and Lisa's book has been outstanding. Her book has been extremely helpful in assisting me in making the transition from Quicken to Quickbooks. As well as understanding the differences for a church trying to utilize a commerce-focused product (Quickbooks) as a religious organization. I would highly recommend this book to anyone!" James Underwood
"This is a great resource to have by your side if you are setting up QB or already using QB's. It is very easy to understand and explained in detail. I also was able to communicate with Lisa via email, and she was a huge blessing! Very prompt and thorough in answering any questions I had. I would highly recommend this book to all users that need to get a better feel for the essentials of using QB's. There is also a handbook you can purchase that will be helpful as a companion guide to the book as well." Michelle

About the author
Lisa London
29 books38 followersHaving been bit by the writing bug, I began to see stories all around me. When my neighbor Hilde mentioned how much she had enjoyed her Hitler Youth group, I was intrigued. Not long after that, I was helping my 100 year-old Granny pack up things and found a beautiful embroidered tablecloth that looked almost new.
“Granny, I’ve never seen you use this. Why not?”
Sadness engulfed Granny’s face. “My brother, Bud, told me he got it off a German family when he was in the war. Every time I used it, I pictured that poor German family with a bare table.”
Needless to say, it broke my heart to see her so sad. When I mentioned it to my German neighbor, Hilde stopped me.
“Tell your grandmother her brother helped a German family. We were starving after the war. So people would trade their table linens for food. If the American soldiers had not ignored the non-fraternization rules, many of us would have starved.”
Not only did this make my grandmother feel much better, at that point, I knew I had a novel that had to be written–a World War II novel written from the German civilian perspective.
When I get focused on my writing, my husband Skip and our four children think I have completely forgotten how to cook or to help on our small farm in North Carolina. When not writing, I enjoy spending time on the coast, paddle boarding, kayaking, and boating with the family.

I felt this was clear enough and helpful enough to purchase a copy for the library. Not only does she try to keep things pretty simple, but the screen shots are helpful.
