*Tip – You can customize the customer label to say “Donors” or “Members” to better fit the nonprofit terminology.By utilizing the Customers section you will be able to get more reports about your donors or grantors. At year-end, you will be able to issue a statement for your donors for their gifts. Why do this? You can track the donations made by your donors or payments made by members to the organization. Does the nonprofit have donors, grantors, members, etc? If the answer is yes then you will want to set them up in the traditional “customers” section of QBO.Just like QuickBooks Desktop, we need to set it up to best work for the nonprofit. BUT, that doesn’t mean one can just start using it without a little prep and setup work. I found QBO to be a good fit for nonprofit accounting. The best part of QBO has always been that you can access it from anywhere and it’s so versatile. I’m a techie by nature so I pick up and start using new software easily. Then, Intuit developed QBO and I was intrigued. My love of QuickBooks started with the desktop version many years ago. I get asked all the time, “Can I use QuickBooks Online for a nonprofit?” My answer is always, absolutely! I have been a fan of QuickBooks for years.
