Accounting Systems Set Up

Project details

What we need
  • Setup of selected accounting software (e.g. Aplos, Araize)
  • Training and guidelines on how to manage system and generate basic reports
Additional details

I'd like some help with the Quickbooks set up for a new 2-member LLC created for a Project Homekey grant from the state of California. We purchased 8 units and will now manage the property. I am bookkeeper/treasurer for Mtn Homeless Coalition and have managed the books (in Quickbooks desktop) for three years. But adding this new LLC poses a few questions for me.

What we have in place
  • We currently have Quickbooks for Nonprofits, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an initial set up and keyed transactions for Oct-Dec 2020, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,409 , allowing us to use our money for housing navigator salaries and bridge housing (hotel stats) for the homeless.

Last fall we received a state of California Homekey grant to purchase eight small cabins in Big Bear Lake to get homeless individuals and households back on their feet. I, as the treasurer, am struggling to set up this new LLC and record the purchase and other transactions appropriately.
