Recording non-cash donations [RESOLVED]

That was quick, you answered your own question with a recommendation from an accountant in 3 minutes. (at least by my clock)

I’m curious for a clarification.

Does your accountant mean to expense the non-cash goods and services provided at once?

Or to hold these as deferred and expense them as used?

Or even to accept them as ‘revenue’ and later deduct them against matching expenses?

Just curious. Overall, I think I see where she’s going, I just want to understand the advice better.

Regards,
Adrien
