The Role of a Nonprofit Bookkeeper

Industry-specific bookkeeping is important for any organization because there will be unique needs and practices in every industry. As a nonprofit organization, that applies to you, too. Here, we’ll share the role of a nonprofit bookkeeper so you can hire well.

  • Record transactions

  • Reconcile bank accounts

  • Provide financial statements

  • Assist with Form 1099 preparation

  • Give advice and counsel as needed

When you’re looking for a good bookkeeper, you’ll want to look for everything on this and the RELATIONSHIP you can have with your bookkeeper. Make sure they will be accessible, have a checks and balance system in place for their work, and someone you can really build a relationship with as you grow your nonprofit. Your bookkeeper is an asset to your organization.

In addition, your bookkeeper should keep you in compliance with IRS requirements, provide easily accessible financial records and clear financial statements. We always aim to equip our clients in truly understanding their numbers - so we offer free “Understanding Your Reports” training, too.

Outsource where you need to, so you can stay on top of running your nonprofit. Get a free bookkeeping estimate here and learn more about our consulting options if you need to work on your budget.
