If you are outsourcing a significant portion of your financial work -bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, etc. - you appear to be among a majority of US nonprofits across organizational size and type. This may not be so surprising considering the speed with which many nonprofits have adopted remote systems during and after the pandemic, not to mention the dwindling supply of qualified bookkeeping and accounting professionals. However, is there a step too far when it comes to financial outsourcing?
This NFC session will explore various models of outsourcing in 2025, looking at issues of market, quality, control, agility, sensemaking, and organizational sovereignty. We will explore where and why these arrangements work and where and why they do not.
This session will be guided by NFC moderators Wade Rogers and Dana Britto and will feature large and small case studies.
