How to use the prebuilt non-profit planning and reporting account for for mission-driven organizations with program and fundraising activity using the Jirav Non-Profit Blueprint.

1. Connect to Accounting Actuals
Go to Settings > Integrations, click on the desired Connect button for your client’s accounting system, and follow the prompts to complete the connection.
2. Set the Cash Account
Go to Settings > Company > Plans, select the main operating cash account for the client. Setting the Cash is a simple but important step to enable Cash forecasting abilities.
3. Verify Close Month
Confirm the correct Close Month is set under Settings > Company > Accounting tab. This ensures reports and dashboards display using the right financial period. This can either be inherited automatically from the accounting system or manually set in Jirav.
4. Import Custom Non Profit Actuals
Bring in client-specific metrics that are not in the accounting system, for example, # of Donors and # of Events. From Settings > Integrations, either connect to Google Sheets or download the Excel template. The template will download with all of the Non-Profit Metrics needed for the blueprint account. Copy in the values for your metrics, then return to Jirav to initiate the Google Sheet import or upload the Excel file.
5. Import Workforce Actuals [Optional]
Optionally load staffing information for headcount reporting. From Settings > Integrations > Workforce, you can either upload data via Excel or connect directly to an HR/payroll platform.
