Basic Bookkeeping with Excel for Nonprofits-Level 1

Many small nonprofits use an electronic worksheet like Excel to record financial transactions. Learn how to do it the EASY way that actually works!

Shouldn't I Be Using Quickbooks or Something?

Small nonprofits often enjoy a simpler workload and have more accurate accounting records when using an electronic worksheet like LibreOffice, Open Office, Google Sheets, Excel, or others. Why? Because to use a worksheet they don't have to understand the debit and credit system of double-entry accounting. 

Teaching someone to use a worksheet to record and organize transactions is much easier than trying to teach them Quickbooks. And it's a lot cheaper. LibreOffice and Google Sheets are FREE. Quickbooks is expensive. And do you know how much it costs to clean up Quickbooks when transactions have been recorded improperly for an entire year? Thousands.

This course shows you how to set up a simple and effective transaction summary worksheet. It works with multiple bank accounts, credit cards, and Paypal/Stripe/Square accounts too.

This course teaches you everything you need to know to get up and running in an afternoon. It does assume you know how to open a blank worksheet, navigate around the worksheet, enter data in rows and columns, copy and paste, and enter simple formulas. If not, there are plenty of free videos on Youtube that will get you up to speed in an hour or so.
