Join CPA Lewis Sharpstone, whose practice includes many nonprofits, to explore how to prepare a truly meaningful budget, and how both senior staff and Board members can use a well-prepared budget in running a successful organization. Sharpstone says that a nonprofit budget is the route plotting where you think you want to go in your nonprofit automobile, and needs periodic tuning up to be sure you’re not veering off-course. In addition to providing templates for such useful nonprofit budgets and ways to do a tune-up, this free workshop will offer an opportunity to ask budgeting-related questions from an expert in the nonprofit accounting field.

The course requires a total six-hour time commitment and is limited to ten participants - to allow individual attention. Early application is advised. Read more
