Board Member Boot Camp Seminar Series
From our experience in providing audit, tax, accounting and consulting services for not-for-profit clients, we recognize that many board members and executive directors struggle when dealing with accounting issues. Board members are volunteers who take on leadership roles to serve their communities, however they do not necessarily have the accounting or finance background to assist or guide the not-for-profit organizations that they serve.
The consequences of this lack of knowledge leads to improper accounting methods, delays in tax filings, inadequate internal controls, and PR nightmares for both the board members and the organizations.
For these reasons we created a series of half-day conferences, specifically addressing board members and nonprofit management teams' concerns. For Boot Camp schedules, see upcoming events.
Group Luncheon Speaker Series
Board members and management teams may not have the time to keep up with the constantly changing business environment and reporting requirements imposed on not-for-profit organizations. To help your organization become more successful, we are bringing the answers to the lunch room! Join us at the upcoming speaker events, listen to the most timely topics, enjoy an opportunity to mingle with your fellow community leaders, and take home the keys for your success!
