 Running Quickbooks in Non-profit- The Only Comprehensive Guide for Non Profit Using Quickbooks June 16, 2008

The product itself looks pretty new like it was never used. The book itself looks easy to understand and follow. It's a good book to have while learning how to navigate around Quickbooks for Non-profit.

_Running Quickbooks in Nonprofits_ very thoroughly addresses many accounting issues that non-profits face, and presents countless ways to implement solutions to those issues in Quickbooks. The author is creative and very knowledgable of both Quickbooks and non-profit accounting principles, and ties them together very well.
This is a very comprehensive book on using Quickbooks in a non-profit organization. It is not, however, a tutorial or a beginning accounting manual. I highly recommend this book to any financial manager of a non-profit, but I also recommend supplementing this with basic and intermediate accounting training. This book will help bring order to many areas of non-profit accounting--but it cannot be utilized well without the firm underpinnings of both accounting theory and practice.
Very helpful book for those new to nonprofit bookkeeping or Quickbooks or both January 26, 2008

I wish I had found this book when I first transitioned from the private sector to running a non-profit organization! Coming from a media background, I was familiar with budgets, etc., but I always had a bookkeeper for the actual accounting, so I found myself having to learn fast on my feet; add to that the need to learn how non-profits differ from for profit business and I felt completely behind the eight ball at times. After the first year, I had a functional handle on it, but things were still not where they should be and the annual financial review proved that there was more to learn.
Enter *Running Quickbooks in Nonprofits*; this book taught me more in one reading than a year of muddling through it and bothering the accountant with "free" questions until he was blue in the face. Not only did I finally get a good handle on the basics of accounting for a non-profit, but I was able to finally utilize the full power of Quickbooks within its inherent non-profit limitations - even the version of Quickbooks for non-profits isn't well adapted for the purpose as it was not built from the ground up for the unique accounting needs of non-profits. With this book, you will learn how to adapt Quickbooks for you non-profit organization and make it work for you, not against you.
What makes *Running Quickbooks in Nonprofits* easy to read and understand and why it delivers is because the author is an accountant working with non-profit clients, so she can deliver real world advice that makes sense to those in the non-profit world.

A Guide to my Book Rating System:
1 star = The wood pulp would have been better utilized as toilet paper.
2 stars = Don't bother, clean your bathroom instead.
3 stars = Wasn't a waste of time, but it was time wasted.
4 stars = Good book, but not life altering.
5 stars = This book changed my world in at least some small way.
Worth it! January 23, 2008

This book is worth it's weight in gold. I hadn't used Quickbooks before and hadn't done accounting in years. It helped bring me up to speed for Quickbooks and Non profit accounting. The first three chapters alone are worth the cost of the book.

We've been using QuickBooks for years and have had a number of frustrations because it's not specifically for non-profits. This book has been very helpful. The only reason I can't give it five stars is because it's not quite as helpful for those who already have QuickBooks up and running. The majority of the information is for someone just setting up a non-profit QuickBooks company.
