Nonprofit finance is not commercial finance with different words. Money arrives restricted, the board reads different reports, and the auditor asks questions a commercial audit never would.
These pages cover the parts that cause the most trouble: restricted funds and how to track them, the reports a board can actually use, reserves, program-level economics, grant compliance and internal controls for a small team.
