As long as funding comes primarily from unrestricted sources, the Pro edition will work reasonably well. In that case, QuickBooks Premier Nonprofit might be a real timesaver. Double-entry accounting is the standard method for tracking where your money comes from and where it goes. For example, as shown in Table 1 , when you sell something to a customer, the money on your invoice comes in as income and goes into your Accounts Receivable account.

Then, when you deposit the payment, the money comes out of the Accounts Receivable account and goes into your checking account. See Chapter 16 for more about double-entry accounting and journal entries. Each side of a double-entry transaction is either a debit or a credit. As you can see in Table 1 , when you sell products or services, you credit your income account since your income increases when you sell something , but debit the Accounts Receivable account because selling something also increases how much customers owe you.

Chart of accounts. In bookkeeping, an account is a place to store money, just like your real-world checking account is a place to store your ready cash. The difference is that you need an account for each kind of income, expense, asset, and liability you have.

See Chapter 3 to learn about all the different types of accounts you might use. Cash vs. Cash and accrual are the two different ways companies can document how much they make and spend. The accrual method, on the other hand, follows something known as the matching principle , which matches revenue with the corresponding expenses.

This approach keeps income and expenses linked to the period in which they happened, no matter when cash comes in or goes out. The advantage of this method is that it provides a better picture of profitability because income and its corresponding expenses appear in the same period.

For example, if you pay employees in January for work they did in December, those wages are part of the previous fiscal year.

Financial reports. This QuickBooks report gets its name from the difference between income and expenses, which results in your profit or loss for that period. The balance sheet The Balance Sheet is a snapshot of how much you own and how much you owe. Assets are things you own that have value, such as buildings, equipment, and brand names. Liabilities are the money you owe to others like money you borrowed to buy one of your assets, say. The difference between your assets and liabilities is the equity in the company—like the equity you have in your house when the house is worth more than you owe on the mortgage.

The statement of cash flows The Statement of Cash Flows tells you how much hard cash you have. You might think that a profit and loss report would tell you that, but noncash transactions—such as depreciation—prevent it from doing so.

To use this book and QuickBooks , you need to know a few basics. To click means to point your cursor the arrow pointer at something on the screen and then—without moving the cursor—press and release the left button on the mouse or laptop trackpad. To right-click means the same thing, but you press the right mouse button instead. Clicking usually selects an onscreen element or presses an onscreen button, whereas right-clicking typically reveals a shortcut menu , which lists some common tasks specific to whatever you right-clicked.

To double-click means to click the left button twice in rapid succession, without moving the pointer. And to drag means to move the cursor while holding down the left mouse button the entire time. Related procedures, like Ctrl-clicking , work the same way—just click while pressing the specified key. The menus are the words at the top of your screen: File, Edit, and so on. Some people click to open a menu and then release the mouse button; after reading the menu choices, they click the option they want.

Other people like to press the mouse button continuously as they click the menu title and drag down the list to the desired command; only then do they release the mouse button.
