NFP Partners and Sage NPS will present an important and timely webcast on July 23, 2009, designed for nonprofit health organizations interested in improving their financial management capacity through technology. The program is aimed at small- to mid-size community health and health-related nonprofits with $2 – $50 million annual operating budgets.
Candidates for this program include executive directors, chief financial officers, and financial managers of growing organizations, whose current software and processes are becoming inadequate as their financial tracking and reporting requirements become increasingly complex. Some may already have plans to acquire a new software system, while others may be thinking about it, or discussing it internally.
The presentation will address some of the major challenges that financial managers of growing health organizations are facing, including knowing when entry-level and general-purpose accounting software ceases to be an effective solution. Sage MIP Fund Accounting offers tools to help organizations deal with many of these challenges, including:
- Grant management and reporting (varying types and rules, multi-year and cross fiscal year periods)
- Internal control and audit (including OMB Circular A-133 provisions)
- Budgeting flexibility and control
- System and application access security
- Financial reporting and analysis for various stakeholders
- Cost allocation
- Integration of other operational applications (e.g., practice management, billing, fund raising)
The presentation will consist of a panel anchored and moderated by Lee Bengston, CPA and Managing Principal of NFP Partners. Other participants include: Donald Gardner, CPA, Senior Systems Consultant, NFP Partners; Mark Sandvik, CFO, Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurses Association and Jim Molter, Director of Finance, Nurse Family Partnership. Sandvik and Molter, who are financial executives using Sage MIP Fund Accounting in their organizations, will lend their expertise and perspectives. Bonnie McLain, Product Specialist at Sage NPS, will also participate in the discussions and demonstrate the software.
The one-hour webcast begins at 2:00pm MDT on July 23rd. There is limited space available, so please register early. If you have comments and ideas that you would like to see included in the program, please provide your comments below.
