Accounting Capture & Bookkeeping

Set up the books the right way from day one.

Overview

Clean books are what make a future audit, grant report, and tax return possible. This module walks through choosing an accounting system (QuickBooks, Xero, or a spreadsheet for the very small), setting up a nonprofit chart of accounts with classes and restricted funds, recording donations and grants correctly, and the monthly close routine that keeps you audit-ready all year.

What you'll be able to do

  • Choose and set up an accounting system that fits your size
  • Build a nonprofit chart of accounts with fund and class tracking
  • Record donations, grants, and in-kind gifts correctly
  • Run a monthly close that stays audit-ready
