  Beyond Basic Bookkeeping: Working with Nonprofits

  Nonprofits may keep books, but they operate under a unique set of rules. This session takes a practical, big-picture look at what sets them apart—from having no owners to following GAAP, accrual accounting, and functional expense reporting. We’ll explore common revenue models, why “profit” isn’t a dirty word, and the key considerations that distinguish nonprofits from other small businesses. You’ll also walk away with strategies for finding and connecting with nonprofit clients who need your expertise. Whether you’re exploring the sector or considering expanding your practice, this session will help you see beyond the basics.

  From Band-Aids to Breakthroughs: A Simpler, Smarter Way to Solve Tough Problems  

  Bookkeepers often feel pressure to jump straight into action—whether tackling challenges in their own business or helping a client navigate theirs. But lasting solutions require a different approach. This session introduces a powerful, repeatable framework for tackling tough challenges—one that emphasizes clarity, collaboration, and results that endure.  Instead of relying on intuition or patchwork fixes, you’ll learn a structured way to slow down, examine what’s really happening, and bring multiple perspectives into the conversation. This approach not only leads to practical solutions people can implement and sustain, it also helps you avoid blind spots, reduce wasted effort, and build stronger trust—both within your team and with your clients. You’ll leave with a dependable method to approach complexity, cut through confusion, and lead with confidence. 

  In preparation for this session, please come ready to share (in a small group):

  • A difficult conversation you are preparing to have 

  - or -

  • A recent challenging conversation that did not go as well as you had hoped or became emotionally charged
