Even as I write that this massive compendium is ‘the go-to course for the non-financiaI-professional non-profit leader’, I worry that I am damning Financial Management for Nonprofit Organizations by faint praise.
There is a strong argument that this is work around which non-financial-professionals and financial professionals in any non-profit ought to rally, to derive their shared understanding and dialect, and to establish common a financial platform for organization-wide strategic planning.
John Zietlow has been a persistent and influential voice in favor of nonprofit planning that abandons a debilitating ‘break-even’ philosophy and aims to build a tactical and strategic reserve. That understanding of a viable future for nonprofits its baked into this encyclopedic manual for nonprofit financial management.
I don’t think there is another resources that competes with this text.
Highly recommend by this veteran of the nonprofit wars.
