Description:

In the mission-oriented nonprofit world, it can sometimes be difficult to get your team to focus on the relationship between money coming in and the organization's ability to effectively deliver programs and services to its constituents. While top-line measures are exciting they can also be distracting and counterproductive if they are not properly accounted for and effectively presented. Peeling back the covers on your finance organization can help your team, executive director, staff and board members truly understand your financial situation and see how finances directly impact programs. Financial operations reviews deliver insight. Reviews help organizations move beyond budgets and expenses into staffing, policies and processes. You will learn…
• The 5 “must ask” questions
• The 3 reports you should study
• The secrets of financial management
• How to determine financial viability of new programs and link money with mission

Part of the NonprofitWebinars.com Wednesday Webinar series for nonprofit staff and board development. Offering strategy, planning, organizational development, branding, marketing, executive search, finance, fundraising, operations, and more.
