Is your nonprofit’s finance function ready for greater scrutiny? As federal agencies tighten oversight and raise audit thresholds, nonprofits managing public funds must evolve from compliance to proactive accountability. As scrutiny increases, your finance systems must do more than just function - they must demonstrate readiness, resilience, and reliability. Nonprofit leaders should be asking themselves: 1. Do we have the financial clarity to answer questions from funders quickly and accurately? 2. Are our internal controls not only documented, but actually working as intended? 3. If a funder or auditor asks for documentation today, are we ready? 4. Are we prepared for more informal or discretionary oversight?

Nonprofits are facing unprecedented financial and operational pressures. Reduced funding is leading to workforce reductions, with many roles—especially in finance and accounting—left unfilled. As a result, finance teams are stretched thin, making it harder to manage budgets, stay compliant, and provide the financial insights needed to guide mission-driven decisions. Join us on April 10 for a live webinar where we’ll unpack findings from our 2025 Nonprofit Leaders Report and explore how strategic financial partnerships can help your organization navigate these challenges. Andrew S. P., Partner & Director of Client Operations, and Sisil John, SVP of Finance, will share strategies to: - Navigate today’s nonprofit financial landscape - Overcome staffing and financial hurdles - Improve operational efficiency and reporting - Reduce costs through strategic finance partnerships - Refocus on mission-driven activities Register here: https://lnkd.in/g_wTAtVp
