Why a not-for-profit accounting blog?
July 8th, 2008 NancyGuidestar has over a million 990s available on its website. IRS reports it’s processing about 90,000 applications for tax-exempt status each year. And as far as I can tell, there’s a shortage of qualified bookkeepers and accountants who understand the peculiarities of nonprofit accounting in my city and I’m curious whether that’s the case in other places, too.
Where do you go when you have a question about a new type of transaction? Who do you commiserate with when your executive director asks you to prepare a report or projection by tomorrow and doesn’t understand the complexity of the assignment? Have you found community on-line or in your town?
That’s what I’m hoping to offer here at NonprofitAccountingHelp.org.
Go ahead and introduce yourself - I look forward to talking with you!
