Nonprofit Leadership Center

Strong accounting is the foundation for a thriving nonprofit, but that doesn't mean you need an accounting degree to be successful.

For nonprofit professionals with little to no accounting experience, join us on June 9 with Samantha Abraham from My Paper Pusher, LLC, to learn accounting basics that will build your confidence and ensure a strong organization.

By the end of this session, you’ll understand:

✅ How to create a chart of accounts

✅ The basics of financial statements

✅ Concepts such as revenue recognition, restricted funds, internal controls, and functional expense allocations

✅ How to prioritize your financial processes and procedures as your organization grows

What does the latest nonprofit data mean for your organization?
