Why nonprofit accounting is different
The financial challenges nonprofits face
Nonprofits are accountable to donors, grantors and boards. Their accounting has different rules than a typical business.
Grant tracking & reporting
Grantors expect spending reported by program and period.
Board & donor reporting
Boards need clear, timely financial statements to make decisions.
Annual filings
Nonprofits have their own annual information returns and deadlines.
