The first five chapters are basically an introduction to accounting which is useful, but not really geared towards nonprofits.Chapter 6 is the only chapter that provides any "hands-on" advice. After reading the first five chapters, I was extremely excited to finally be reading something useful. However, there was a major let down at the end of chapter 6.First off, the author clearly starts off by saying that you need to approach accounting with the end in mind. The end being the financial statements and the statements to the donors. The author gives you an overview of how to get there: Journal Entries, posting to the ledger, Creating a Trial Balance, adjusting entries, and then Financial Statements.Well Chapter 6 starts off explaining the journal entries. We're talking real live examples. Finally, something useful. The author then shows you how to post to the ledger. Very helpful indeed!At this point, the author seems to run out of steam. She never shows you how to do the other steps! No idea on how to post to the trial balance or adjusting entries. Then the author does NOT show you how to go from the trial balance to the financial statements!When Chapter 6 ended and the author started talking about balancing your checkbook and grants I was very angry!! Don't tell us to keep the end in mind and then not show us how to get there! It seriously felt like something was left out.The author has a love affair with grants. Not how to do the accounting for grants, but how to obtain grants. If I wanted a book about how to obtain grants, then I would have ordered one! This book probably has more information in it about grants than it does about accounting.
