Read first: finance guides

  • Audits, reviews and compilations

    The difference between an audit, a review and a compilation, when a state or federal funder requires one, and how to get ready without panic.

  • Financial controls for small teams

    Simple habits that protect your charity's money, even with two volunteers: split duties, two approvals, monthly bank checks, and a clear report to the board.

  • Restricted and unrestricted gifts

    What a donor restriction is, how to track restricted money in simple books, how and when a restriction is released, and why getting it right builds trust.
