QuickBooks for Church & Other Religious Organizations (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780991163540)

The only church accounting manual for the QuickBooks desktop versions, including Pro and Nonprofit

Church accounting is challenging. It's not like for-profit businesses. There are other QuickBooks guides, but they do not focus on the specifics for churches.

Lisa London, CPA, understands that not everyone thinks like an accountant. She walks readers through the process of setting up QuickBooks from the church chart of accounts to running the reports for the year end audit. QuickBooks for Churches and Other Religious Organizations is written for beginners in a friendly and easy-to-understand style, but includes tips that even the most seasoned CPA may be surprised to find. In fact, a large number of her sales are from CPAs looking to streamline their church's (or client's) accounting system.The step-by-step instructions and hundreds of illustrations take explain how to:

• design a chart of accounts for churches that will give you the information you need

• set up internal accounting procedures and controls to safeguard the money

• track tithes and related cash flow

• send year-end donor acknowledgments

• and much more
