Across the Not-for-Profit sector, accounting and finance teams can often find themselves stuck in crisis mode, without a way forward or resources to solve their problems. At other times, teams can navigate the status quo, but growth or improvement is out of the question. In either instance, NFPs can find themselves in the common position of being stretched too thin. What solutions are out there?

Jason Sturdevant, NFP Accounting Advisory Manager, and co-host Blakeley Richard, NFP Accounting Advisory Senior Associate, join forces to discuss some examples of NFP accounting teams that were struggling to juggle day-to-day needs with broader compliance or strategic goals. Jason and Blakeley will also highlight a couple instances in which NFPs leveraged Cherry Bekaert’s Accounting Advisory team to overcome staffing challenges, complex accounting matters and organizational barriers to move toward thriving.
