Nonprofit Set-up

[doug]

We have taken delivery of Peachtree Complete 2002 for use as our nonprofit's accounting software. I have been tasked with setting it up and maintaining the accounts (only one with adequate computer, but not an accountant mode)

Does anyone have any suggestions for setting this up to be suitable for use by a nonprofit anfd so that we will be bale to egenrate the required reports?

Thanks for your help,

Doug

You can get the Unified Chart of Accounts at this web site and choose the accounts that apply to your organization.
NCCS.urban.org/ucoa/nccs-ucoa2.htm.
What I do is to add a suffix(A,F,P) on to the Expense accounts A administration F fundraising and P program. For the 990 you have to split the expenses into these three catagories. If you mask the Trial Balance report using * for the numbers and one
of the letters the report will segregate that one category by itself. Look up masking in Help in P/T.

Thanks for the tips. That actually makes sense, and not a lot about this does. <g>
