Non-Profit organizations are often made up of passionate team members dedicated to supporting their community or cause, and not many have a professional accountant on staff. These organizations require the same basic financial tracking and services as other businesses (expenses, invoices, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc.) but can sometimes require extra support, especially when funding through grants, recording donations or reporting to a board of directors is involved.
