Who is this book for?
This book is for CEOs, senior executives, trustees, non-finance staff – in fact, pretty much anyone who needs to understand the numbers in their charity. Finance people still find it helpful to consider a different perspective on the numbers too.
‘Caron has succeeded brilliantly in painting in glorious technicolour the world of charity finance. She spends satisfyingly little time on the numbers themselves and rightly focuses on understanding the processes that lead to good decisions. I wish this invaluable guide had been available when I first came to the charity sector!’
Bob Humphreys, Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee, Education Development Trust
