What is a non profit balance sheet?

A non profit balance sheet is a financial report that displays the non profit’s assets and liabilities as of a specific date.  You can also download our for profit balance sheet template to see the differences.

How is a balance sheet for a non profit different from a for profit business? 

A non profit balance sheet will not include retained earnings.  Retained earnings is the cumulative profit of a business, but a non profit does not display retained earnings on the balance sheet.  Instead, a non profit will have “Net Assets” which is the difference between the organization’s Assets and Liabilities. 

Additionally, a non profit balance sheet may include non profit specific categories like Grants Receivable or Pledge Receivable for grants, donations and pledges that have been awarded or pledged, but not yet received. 

What is a statement of financial position? 

A statement of financial position is a synonym for balance sheet for a nonprofit organization.  A statement of financial position is a report that displays the assets and liabilities of a nonprofit organization at a specific point in time. 

Is a non profit balance sheet the same as a statement of financial position? 

Yes.  A non profit balance sheet is the same report as a statement of financial position.

As an investor in multiple industries, my first step before diving deep into the investment is to do a financial analysis and projections for the next 5 years. Over the years, I've developed my own excel worksheets, and have adapted them to fit my needs. On a whim, I decided to google for such an investment template, willing to pay for the time-it will save me in the long-term. Given the money-back guarantee, I went ahead and purchased the first template. I was blown away by the level of detail and care Adam has provided, and after a few hours of inputting the data and seeing the results, I was convinced it was a wise investment on my part. No regrets. I had a question which I asked Adam via his on-line chat, and within an hour or two, he made a custom video showing me the answer to my question. I would have never imagined this level of personal service given by someone who clearly cares about his customer's experience. Bottom line, awesome tools, awesome service, and I feel very pleased with my purchase decision.

I had an amazing experience working with this company on my business projection. I purchased the ghost kitchen template and it was very easy to navigate through and complete. As soon as I encountered some obstacles, I emailed their customer service and the response was immediate. Continued working on my project then came across another obstacle, emailed their customer service and once again the response was immediate. I’d give this company more than five stars for an amazing program, and unbelievably amazing customer service. Thank you Adam for all your help.
