Synopsis

Let's be honest. Most books about financial management are densely written, heavy on jargon, and light on practicality. Expert financial consultant and author Tom McLaughlin takes a different approach with his fourth edition of Streetsmart Financial Basics for Nonprofit Managers. This comprehensive guide provides effective, easy-to-use tips, tools, resources, and analyses.

The light, humorous tone in Streetsmart Financial Basics for Nonprofit Managers makes it an accessible resource for nonprofit executives, board members, students, and those new to the field. This book forgoes useless, pretentious verbiage in order to outline real-world strategies that work. This edition includes: new insights, updates, vignettes, case studies, and examples to deal with the implications of nonprofit financial management; an examination of nonprofit business models in relation to growing demands from the government and other funders; how to construct business plans for virtually any nonprofit entity; and a guided tour through common aspects of nonprofit management, such as financial analysis, accounting, and operations.

Practical and informative, Streetsmart Financial Basics for Nonprofit Managers is the go-to financial management reference for nonprofit managers, boards of directors, and funders.

Goodreads review by Laura on July 20, 2014

I had to read this for one of my master's classes. I despise math and financial stuff (this was an unfortunate required course), but for a finance book it was incredibly easy to read and fairly easy to understand (there is only so much one can do to make IRS forms and finance laws easy to understand......more

Goodreads review by John on December 31, 2016

This is an excellent overview, especially for the many ways it lines out the differences between bookkeeping in for-profit enterprises, which most of us have some familiarity with, and that in the nonprofit world. I recommend it for anyone who is thinking about starting a charity, who is new on the......more
