The Art of Rows and Columns: Designing Your Nonprofit Accounting System
Wednesday, April 23, 9:30-11:30am PST on Zoom
When well-designed, a nonprofit accounting system should provide critical, accurate data for decision-making, reporting, financial management and future planning. Your finance function and the financial reports it produces are most effective when properly and artfully aligned with your organization’s programs and mission.
Identify the way your organization most naturally describes its work and create meaningful financial reports to mirror that structure
Design accounting systems that allow you to organize multiple funds, funding sources, and programs, while remaining as simple and accessible as possible
Ensure your chart of accounts and program classes aid you in telling an accurate, sophisticated, and elegant financial narrative about your nonprofit’s good work
