A club chart of accounts should make treasurer reports easier, not longer. Start with cash, receivables, payables, reserves, dues revenue, event revenue, sponsorships, merchandise, reimbursements, and operating expenses.
Use separate funds or tracking categories for reserves, scholarship activity, major events, alumni programs, and restricted or board-designated projects. Avoid creating a new account for every event if a fund or event category will tell the story more clearly.
This template is designed for clubs, associations, alumni groups, social clubs, and Greek Life chapters that need cleaner reporting than a general small-business setup. It pairs well with the club dues calculator and treasurer transition checklist.
When you move into Alignmint, a clean chart helps dues, event revenue, reimbursements, vendor payments, and reports stay tied together instead of living in separate spreadsheets.
