Build donor trust with proper financial systems
GET the workshop Bookkeeping FOUndations for nonprofits now


Set up your bookkeeping for easy monitoring and reporting of your nonprofit's finances, in Excel or in an accounting software!

This workshop is about the basics of setting up and using your accounting system, which can be an Excel system or an accounting software. We look at: what is a chart of accounts? What is the meaning of it? What are important concepts in bookkeeping? What information does your accounting system need – and what should it verify? What information do you need to get out of your accounting system – and how to make that possible? Having a good system will help generate better project reports and better annual accounts reports. But it will also help you improve progress monitoring in your activities.


Workshop members receive a worksheet with key information from the workshop and an annotated sample of a Chart of Accounts. You'll also have access to a members only private community for all your questions and answers!

Hi, I'm Suzanne

Nonprofits hire me to help setting up their finance systems properly. In my workshops I share key lessons that I learned in more than 30 years of work in this field. 


I am looking forward to helping you set up your accounting systems professionally and with ease, too!
