EDITORIAL REVIEW:

“There are lots of reasons why people get involved in the world of nonprofits — altruism, certainly, but sometimes it’s about networking, status-seeking or other, less credible motives.  What it’s never about is a passionate interest in nonprofit finance, which means that most of those working at nonprofits will be ignorant of the complexities and oddities of the accounting in this space,, which can be dangerous for the organization they work with. That makes CPA Sheila Shanker’s Nonprofit Finance extremely useful. She brings long experience in the field — including writing a previous book on the subject, Guide to Nonprofits from the Trenches — to helping those who want to do good do better at the accounting for doing good.  The book covers all the important financial issues, such as grants, revenues and internal controls, with real-life details and vignettes.” Accounting Today – 2015

“Sheila Shanker explores these [IRS internal control issues] and many other helpful financial fundamentals in Nonprofit Finance: A Practical Guide.  A consultant and CPA, she provides a detailed overview of what everyone interested in the fiscal operations of nonprofits needs to know.”  Nonprofit World – 2015

EDITORIAL REVIEW:

Knowing regular accounting will only get you so far when it comes to nonprofit accounting, but if you’re interested in jumping in, Guide to Non-profits – From the Trenches is a good place to start. Written by a CPA with extensive experience in the field, it gives financial professionals an insider’s view of what they must know about nonprofits. Starting with what, exactly, nonprofits are, the book then covers the basics of nonprofit accounting, dealing with revenue and government grants, nonprofit financial statements, tax and internal control issues, and more.
