Find answers to common questions about the Xero For Good: Financial fitness program.
Xero For Good: Financial fitness is a free program designed with small operations in mind, whether they operate on a for-profit or non-profit basis. We know that as a non-profit, you might not immediately identify as a ‘small business’. However, like any organisation, your non-profit manages resources, organises people, pays expenses, and likely reports to funders or a board. These operational realities mean that understanding your finances is just as vital as it is for any for-profit business.
The program covers essential financial topics like understanding financial statements, budgeting and forecasting. It’s designed to help organisations to develop confidence to manage their finances effectively. You do not need to be a Xero customer to access support, nor be added to any marketing list. The program is meant to meet you where you are at and make the most of the systems you are comfortable with.
