A Two-For-One Session

Join Gregg S. Bossen, CPA and national nonprofit trainer, for this 120-minute session covering two vital topics for nonprofits using QuickBooks. 

Part One: Tracking Special Fundraising Events in QuickBooks Online

Do you host fundraising events like annual galas, luncheons, or golf tournaments? Maybe your event includes sponsorships, ticket sales, table sales, silent auctions, meals, and speakers. Tracking the true net profit from these events—without throwing off the rest of your books—can be challenging. And what about all the staff time spent planning and running the event? Shouldn’t that count toward the event’s actual cost too?

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to accurately track special fundraising events in QuickBooks Online without disrupting your overall accounting. We’ll also cover how to stay compliant with nonprofit accounting standards while getting a clear picture of your event’s true financial impact.

You’ll learn:
  • what constitutes a Special Fundraising Event;
  • how to use accounts, sub accounts, and contra accounts to easily see a net of the event AS PART of the profit and loss;
  • how to enter the budget for each event;
  • how to get a Budget to Actual report for the event as well as other reports; and,
  • how to enter amounts for staff time spent to get an honest picture of the true profit.

Part Two: In-Kind Contributions in QuickBooks Online

Does your nonprofit receive in-kind donations like computers, furniture, food, clothing, household items for clients, or auction items? What about donated services such as IT support, advertising, graphic design, legal work, or free rent? In-kind contributions are a vital source of support for many nonprofits—and they’re not optional to track. Nonprofits are required to properly record these gifts. Beyond compliance, accurately booking in-kind donations can help meet matching requirements for grants and give a clearer picture of your organization’s true operating costs.

But knowing what qualifies as an in-kind donation, how to value it, and where to record it in QuickBooks Online isn’t always easy. This webinar will break down everything you need to know about in-kind contributions.

You’ll learn:
  • what kinds of goods and services received are in-kind donations;
  • what are the rules for when you can consider services in-kind;
  • how to determine the value of in-kind donations;
  • how to record these donations in QuickBooks; and,
  • what you’re required to report to the donor.

Don’t miss this opportunity! You will be VERY glad you came!
