This book is highly recommended for anyone starting a new nonprofit or already established this book is a must read, this hands on guide gives step by step, easy to understand instructions. Ms Farris has done an exceptional job in detailing the day to day operations, explaining the latest tax changes and the nonprofit laws and regulations. It has been very helpful to me in my home based business, it simply makes everything easier. There is everything from balancing your books to applying for federal grants. This is a must read for every nonprofit business! Great job, Ms Farris. EM
