I'm volunteering at a local Board with a focus on Treasury. You definitely spoke to me! Defining the sections with Do's and Don't was key in this video. Thank you so much.
You're so welcome. Please let me know if there are other topics you'd like me to cover.
Found this to be a good background to setting up a CoA for Non-Profit. Keep it up
Thank you for the valuable information!!
Crystal clear explanation, sounds like good advice, great communication, thank you so much.
This was a very good video for me to watch, I like the Dos and Don'ts you presented which is very helpful. I am working for an organization which is non-profit. Actually I am mostly volunteering.
Love your videos, very clear.
Thank you!
Great info. Thank you
Thank you so much for these videos. Do you have a video or pdf available that gives a suggested list of the chart of account names?
Where have you been all my life? ;o) Your explanations are very clear and on point. Thank you. I've subscribed and will likely binge your vids.
Glad these have been helpful!
Thank you, Germeen!! You did an amazing job of clarifying the COAs for NPs. I have an established NP that I will be converting from QBD to QBO and I have some idea of what my NP individual needs are, but would like a COA template so I can pick and choose? They were not using classes so things needed to be downloaded into to an excel spreadsheet and then reported to the board. Ugg so laborious! I want to be able to create these customized reports and just pull them monthly to save time. Thank you in advance!!!
Thank you for the video. This helps a lot. Can you please do a video on how you handle the way QuickBooks online automatically moves Net Revenue into Retained Earnings at the end of the fiscal year rather than to the Restricted and Unrestricted accounts. Thanks.
I will add that to the rotation
Thank you I appreciate this guide. My current chart of accounts is a mess. Can you provide more payroll expense for liabilities for the BS reporting how it should be listed?
I'm trying to make an Equity account for Net Asset for restricted and unrestricted funds? What detail type should I use, Owner's Equity? Blessings again!
A house of worship that does not have to file a 990. Would you recommend that they still categorize by functional classes such as Admin, Fundraising and Programs for Grant Seeking purposes? Blessings!
This video is so helpful! Do you have a video explaining how to handle pledges receivable in the chart of accounts?
I think that belongs on the financial position statements on accrual accounting. Maybe!
Thanks for the video. I'm curious, though. With this system of putting functional expenses under Class, how would you label a program expense or fundraising expense in the bigger picture of categories?
Not sure I understand your question. Theres a separate class for program expenses and fundraising expenses. If you want to dig deeper, you can use subclasses for specific programs or fundraisers.
This is all different for churches, do you have a chart of acct for churches?
I tweak the COA specifically for churches that work with us but I dont have a template. We do follow the same logic however with keeping the COA simple and natural categories.
Is there a COA set up video?
You can check out this video>> th-cam.com/video/dwKcoi2R4KM/w-d-xo.html
We inherited an overcrowded COA. What can we do to streamline it?
In this case, I typically would come up with a better version of the COA where we're either consolidating lines or getting rid of certain accounts altogether. We then present to management and the board. All of this gets done outside QBO so that you can get buy in. Once approved, we make the changes. Depending on timing we usually wait until the beg on the new year or when audit season is over.
Do you have a full COA list?
I dont have one that I share
both net assets with donor restrictions and net assets without donor restrictions cannot be Retained Earnings and if I create Net Assets with sub accounts the sub accounts cannot be retained earnings - so what type do we use?
you can use owner's equity
That is the impossible dream, I don't believe you can have multiple net asset balances (restricted fund, general fund) in QB.
I have done all the don'ts..... I need to start over. Can this be done. Can I start from Scratch?
It depends on how "messy" the file is and whether clean up is worth the time investment.
"this gives me anxiety" made me laugh
lol!
There’s an option to make your quickbooks a non profit book.
I agree am just getting started with it
You lost me when you didn't include "program, fundraising, & admin expenses"
We don’t crowd the chart of accounts with functional expenses. We take a simplistic approach and use the COA for natural categories and use classes in QBO to track program, admin, and fundraising expenses. That way we have multiple ways we can pull reports and we can choose the level of detail.
