About this event
Leading a not-for-profit organization can be a challenging task. Let the Oregon Society of Certified Public Accountants’ Not-for-Profit Committee help you meet that challenge. The “What Matters for Not-for-Profits” series presents information relating to issues faced by not-for-profits, through expertly-moderated panel discussions. The events take place in a relaxed and networking-friendly atmosphere, with ample time for Q&A. The CPA service provider is in a position to learn more about and has the training and skills to give more help to Not-for-Profit clients – from both a general business perspective as well as from knowledge of financial systems, processes and communications – than any other service provider.
Clients know this and would benefit from more interaction with their CPAs. How can CPAs and Not-for-Profit leaders build a relationship that increases that benefit to both parties?
This event is offered at no charge for not-for-profit leaders and professional service firms. Pre-Registration is strongly encouraged.
