[OMS_MANAGERS] Bookkeeping/Bill pay

[Sheri Stuart]

When I was a main street manager, we also used Quickbooks. I did the
entry, but had 2 signatures for the checks (important!). I went over the
books monthly with our treasurer who gave the report at the board
meeting. Also had a local accountant review our books each year and
complete our annual 990. The important thing is to have a good process
in place and adopted policies and procedures. Attached is a sample
fiscal management checklist.

Morning Kelly!
Here in Hillsboro we use the latest version of Quickbooks and chose it
because of its easy reporting capabilities.
Most of the input is done by me since our Treasurer works full time. I
am a signer on our account to make it easier, although I never sign a
reimbursement check to myself--just good practice. We also have a
bookkeeper that has a lot 
of knowledge about non-profits that we rely on to do our 990's and
CT-12's (which are reviewed by our Treasurer
who luckily is a CPA).
Hope this helps,
Lorraine

Any other small programs out there, like ours, that could share how you
handle writing checks, keeping books etc.
Specifically, does the Treasurer do all of it, or does the Program
manager do it, or is it a shared process???

Thanks very much!!
