Hi, I’m Abby! The bookkeeper behind the guide.

When I first jumped into the world of nonprofit bookkeeping, I was both excited and a bit overwhelmed. Sure, I had an accounting background, but nonprofit books? That’s a whole different ball game! (Picture me, nervously juggling numbers and hoping I didn’t drop any.) With hardly any on-the-job training and a lot of “Oh no, what now?” moments, I had to cobble together my bookkeeping skills from whatever resources I could find. It was like a treasure hunt… but with more spreadsheets.

I created this guide to help others who find themselves in similar positions. Whether you’re the fearless leader of a new organization, a volunteer treasurer, an office manager tasked with keeping the books, or anyone else involved in managing the finances, this guide is here to provide you with the confidence and knowledge you need to get started on the right foot.

And hey, if you ever feel like you’re drowning in numbers or decide that bookkeeping isn’t your cup of tea, feel free to reach out. I offer bookkeeping services to help you manage your nonprofit’s finances with ease. Let’s make your bookkeeping journey a successful one!
