Bookkeeping Made Easier

Being a treasurer within an association, foundation, or homeowners’ association seems straightforward at first glance: recording income and expenses, keeping track of membership fees, and closing the books at the end of the year. In practice, it often turns out to be much more complicated. How do you create a balanced budget? How do you handle tax regulations or subsidies? And how do you ensure that your bookkeeping is not only correct, but also understandable for the rest of the board and the audit committee? These are questions that many treasurers recognize – and for which there is not always a ready-made answer.

Treasurer’s Guide

Good news for anyone who sometimes struggles with the finances: in addition to an audit committee guide, there is now also a Treasurer’s Guide! This practical guide contains not only a crash course in bookkeeping, but also covers all sorts of other topics that treasurers or other board members often encounter in practice. From budgeting and annual accounts to handy tips for a well-organized administration – everything is covered. The guide was written by Drs. Maarten den Ouden, business economist, audit specialist, and former registered accountant. Does your association or foundation do its own bookkeeping? Then this guide can be a valuable help. The guide is not offered by us. For questions about the guide, its content, or ordering it (€14.95), you can go here.
