Whether you are getting started in a new accounting system, or you just finished closing your fiscal year in an existing one, there are some essential steps and best practices to help your nonprofit start on the best possible footing at the beginning of a new fiscal year. These steps will ensure your accounting system fits your needs. They will also help you customize your system so you can pull the reports you need throughout the upcoming year.
Get ready to learn some of the best accounting practices for your nonprofit. Although we will demonstrate using Aplos Nonprofit Accounting Software, many of the practices apply regardless of the system you use.
