Lee Bengston conducted the first-ever webinar on alternate strategies for managing nonprofit finances on November 18. The training is directed to Executive Directors of growing nonprofit organizations who seek affordable and workable solutions to their financial management issues. Typically these executives proceed along the route of hiring an accountant and hoping for the best without first understanding his or her own responsibility for financial stewardship and acquiring the basic knowledge to effectively manage the function. The webinar explores the various in-house, outsourced, and combination models and evaluates their strengths and weakness; and further introduces a newer, technology-enabled alternate strategy, hosted accounting services from our organization that gets nonprofits on the right track towards fully implementing financial management best practices and a permanent solution.
The webinar addresses the following questions:
· As the executive head of a nonprofit organization, what is my stewardship responsibility for financial management and what should I know?
· What are fiscal management best practices and why are they important?
· Why do conventional financial management organizational strategies fall short?
· What is an alternate technology-enabled strategy that combines in-house and external resources?
· How do I evaluate and select a strategy that is right for my organization?
The webinar represents the first opportunity to preview our newly expanded portfolio of services to nonprofit organizations. While our previous focus was to provide in-house accounting software, notably Sage MIP Fund Accounting, we have designed a more comprehensive and collaborative approach, combining expert external services, training and software tools to implement best practices and achieve financial management success.
The webinar utilizes on-line meeting software free teleconferencing. It is scheduled to last for one hour. Each attendee will receive a supporting information packet.

Since the webinar will be presented from a CEO’s perspective, it would not be useful for the financial functional manager (controller, finance director, business manager, etc.) to attend in your place. However, we welcome your financial manager to attend with you.
