Or, perhaps, an assistant or volunteer who has been asked to get the financial systems in place? Don't worry, The Accountant Beside You, Lisa London CPA, will guide you each step of the way.

Learn how to:

Track grants, program income, membership dues, and related expenses.

Send donor acknowledgments and pledge statements throughout the year.

Design financial statements your governing board can use for long term planning.

Budget your year so you know if you have money for new projects.

and so much more.

The classes are broken into small, bit-sized pieces that are well labeled, so you can reference the information you need when you need it.



From Phyllis Jones of The Episcopal Church Foundation's Vestry Papers:

One very good resource to help you learn QuickBooks is Lisa London's book, "QuickBooks for Churches and Other Religious Organizations." Check out two tools from that book which Lisa has recorded on YouTube: Using QuickBooks for Churches and Donor Thank-You's in QuickBooks.
