Managing records and financial statements

How are your homeschool groups’ records? Scattered, missing, lost? One homeschool group has organized all their important papers in a binder using HomeschoolCPA’s Homeschool Board Member Manual template. In this podcast episode, the leader showed Carol Topp her board binder. It was wonderful to see how helpful this board binder was to the group.

This is the fourth part of a 4-part series on tips for homeschool leaders a workshop given to homeschool leaders in Austin, Texas in February 2020.
