Want to Learn Some Basic Fund Accounting Concepts?

Are the Accounting Books You Have Been Reading Just Confusing You Even More?

Basic Fund Accounting ebook

Whether your accounting system is computer-based or paper, knowing the principles of basic fund accounting is essential.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or even stressed with the financial responsibility of managing your nonprofit or church’s accounting records...

...the following ebook "Basic Fund Accounting" can give you the knowledge to perform your accounting duties with confidence.

Many church treasurers or financial secretaries are appointed because they are organized, and/or dependable or just because they have a heart to work for God.

Suddenly they are thrown into unfamiliar territory with no road map. They buy basic accounting books and now are more confused than ever.

That is because most accounting books are geared toward profit-oriented businesses and churches/nonprofits use a different accounting system.

Note: These ebooks are written mainly for churches; however, many of the same basic fund accounting principles apply to small nonprofit organizations as well. I have stated if any of the accounting concepts in the books apply to church's only. For simplicity sake, I refer to churches and their staff.

Here is what a business teacher said about this package:

"I am a high school business teacher and have been approached by a church secretary to help her with a few accounting issues that she is having at her church. I teach beginning and advance accounting and realized that double entry accounting is quite different from church accounting. I purchased your book and downloaded your spreadsheets. They are wonderful and accurate reading from the accounting point  of view."

Here is what a former CPA and Systems Implementation consultant said about this book:

Thanks Vickey. Cool stuff. I just finished reading 'Basic Fund Accounting' and it is great for the unskilled.
Our small church is suffering under the burden of a robust church accounting package. I'm assisting the Fin. committee (I'm a former CPA and Systems Implementation consultant - now in Seminary pursuing ministry for a second career). As you know, for volunteers who aren't accounting oriented such a robust system can drown them. I'm a big fan of simple, especially with small operations.
Thanks for your passion for this area,
Jim from FL
