The Accidental Nonprofit Accountant

The Savvy Leader's Guide to Support Your Nonprofit

Is it 10:47 PM? Are you staring at a tangle of spreadsheets, dreading an upcoming board meeting, and wondering why it’s so hard to answer a simple question about how a grant was spent?

If so, you are not alone. You are an Accidental Nonprofit Accountant—the passionate Executive Director, dedicated Program Manager, or volunteer Board Treasurer who was handed the financial keys without a map.

The problem isn't you; it's your tools. Standard accounting software wasn't built for the complex questions nonprofits must answer: What did we spend it on? Why did we spend it? And whose money was it?

This book is the map you've been searching for.

Written by K.T. Ambrose, The Accidental Nonprofit Accountant is not another dense textbook that will try to turn you into a CPA. It's a savvy leader's practical guide to transforming financial chaos into clarity and confidence.

Inside, you will discover:

• The Three Pillars of Trust: Demystify the core concepts of fund accounting, functional expenses, and grant management in simple, plain-English terms (the "piggy banks," "buckets," and "mini-businesses").

• Your Custom Blueprint: Follow a step-by-step checklist to define your organization's unique needs, creating a powerful tool to evaluate any software.

• The Art of the Workaround: Master the secrets to making affordable software like QuickBooks Online think like a true nonprofit system, potentially saving you thousands on expensive "Cadillac" systems.

• Report with Confidence: Learn how to use features like Classes, Projects, and Tags to effortlessly track programs and grants, and use the "ultimate escape hatch" to create any custom report your board or funders demand.

Financial clarity is the fuel for your mission. Stop drowning in spreadsheets and start dedicating your time to the work that truly matters.
