Nonprofit finance transformation sounds ‘techy’ but it isn’t actually about technology. It’s really about decision-making, insights and gut instinct.

It’s about using the data that technology provides to help your organisation make the right decisions to achieve the greatest impact. And to maximise that impact, you need the ability to see what’s happening across your organisation in real-time, in terms of both financial performance and outcomes. 

Join us, as we discuss why it’s critical for nonprofit finance teams to embrace technology and digital transformation so they can become more strategic in their analysis, planning and decision-making.

The key challenges ahead for finance charity teams in 2022

How to overcome the frustrations of manual reporting
Why real-time visibility is essential for strategic decision making

How to make Non Profit finance transformation stress-free and impactful

The recent dramatic surge in the cost of living means more people are asking charities for help and support, while at the same time the number of donations to good causes is declining as people are hit by the cost of living crisis.

According to the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), almost five million fewer people gave money to charity in the first four months of 2022. At the same time, high inflation is devaluing existing monthly donations which may have been set 
up several years ago. All of this, combined with increased business costs, means not-for-profit financial leaders need to make their operations more streamlined and efficient to keep the cash flowing and become more resilient. 

In this Webinar we explore: 

What are the biggest operational challenges facing non-profit finance leaders and teams?
How can streamlining financial operations help leaders to increase organisational efficiency and save money?
What impact can demonstrating your ‘mission impact’ have on your charity’s success?  
How have charities transformed by becoming more data-driven? How does reliable real-time data help to show how charities are performing and where income gaps lie?
How can leaders take action to increase or maximise their income? 
How will the role of the not-for-profit finance leader continue to evolve through digitalisation?

How to steer your charity through the cost of living crisis
