Nonprofit Finance: A Practical Guide: For Controllers, CFOs, and Board Members

I'm a fundraising consultant for nonprofits and would not recommend this book to any of my clients. The information is out of date--the book was printed 5 years ago and some of the info, such as IRS information has since changed. More disappointing, the book discusses grants as if only government grants are a source of revenue and fails to mention foundation grants, which account for the majority of grant funds for most of my clients.

As an accounting professional who worked in the for-profit world, I was looking for a book to help with the transition to nonprofit accounting. I wanted a book that was clear and had examples. I think this was a great choice for my first book on this topic.

AWFUL. Although this book has some useful information, it's written in such a bad way that you wouldn't want to continue reading. I feel like the author repeated many things so it was a pain to read the same information over and over.

Pretty general

Little pricey

as an accountant who has never worked in the nonprofit sector - I found this book clear and concise. This is a great introduction to the nuances of nonprofit accounting.

Excellent

When I mentioned to someone that I was sec/treas of a small, newly formed non-profit, they suggested I check your book out. I was relieved when I found I was doing most of what you recommend! I also learned a more efficient way of record keeping and very good tips and pointers.This book was helpful for me as a small nonprofit officer, but I will be keeping it by my side if I find myself working on a larger scale too. Versatile, thorough, but accessible to anyone who wants to improve their knowledge about nonprofit accounting! Thank you for your hard work and offering your expertise!
