Re: [GNC] BotanyBayGardens nonprofit example, and why GnuCash does not suffice

Thanks for the very detailed analysis of Gnucash's shortcomings for nonprofits (and other businesses). I'm not an accountant either, barely a computer scientist. If I were to summarize the areas where GC falls short, it seems to me GC is missing: - Support for Job Costing - Cash Flow reporting

Re: [GNC] BotanyBayGardens nonprofit example, and why GnuCash does not suffice

I have a few comments on this long post. I will preface it by admitting that I am neither a tax attorney nor an accountant. I have kept my personal accounts in GnuCash for many years. I am the treasurer for two non-profits, or more accurately, two subsidiaries of one non-profit. But neither of t

Re: [GNC] Accounting for Non-profits

You can also start with a completely blank file (created by default) and then just add in your accounts manually. That seemed faster in my situation, instead of editing most of the supplied accounts. I have ALWAYS done it that way. The CoA of a non-profit organization bears little resemblance

I don't intend to be mean, but I look forward to the day when there is no more Nabble AND there is no replacement anywhere on the Internet. On 2020-07-23 18:40, David Cousens wrote: Jimmy, It would appear that whoever was administrating the Nabble interface to GnuCash is no longer active and

Re: [GNC] Accounting for Non-profits

Those lists of accounts are simply suggested starting points. You can start with no accounts if you like. Once the file is created you can create whatever accounts you need. And you don't have to have every account created up front. You can add accounts as you find that you need them, and chan

[GNC] Accounting for Non-profits

Hi folks, I am treasurer of a not-for-profit organisation and unable to figure out how to configure GnuCash for basic income/expenditure accounting purposes eg journal, cash book, petty cash, bank reconciliation, reports etc. Neither the 'personal' or 'business' options seem to b
