Numbers.  Especially numbers on a financial statement.  Did you realize that numbers tell a story...the story of the priorities, focus, effectiveness, and challenges of an organization.

On today's episode, Tim and Nathan dive into the primary financial statements that a nonprofit should have and the story they each tell.  Tim breaks down each statement and what to be looking for.  4 practical tips are provided to Executive Directors on what to do with the financial statements and what to look for.

Here are three links to resources that we found helpful in explaining nonprofit financial statements:

• https://donorbox.org/nonprofit-blog/nonprofit-financial-statements
