“Our bookkeeper doesn’t usually have two black eyes.”

— Administrator introducing me to a new executive director

Welcome to Cathy Keeps Books, a site about the rough-and-tumble adventure!! of nonprofit bookkeeping. (This is what GAAP is.) The site continues under construction, with lots of mad useful things up already; the blog is a good place to start.

You will see “TK” on various unfinished pages. That’s a literary publishing thing that means “to come.” I don’t know why it’s spelled with a K, it just is.

Note the disclaimer at the bottom. I am just a person with some bookkeeping gigs. Do not take anything here as gospel: check around, and be sure you get additional verification. If the matter at hand is of any significance, for God’s sake consult a CPA.
