A strong mission needs a strong financial foundation. Building that foundation becomes easier when two of your nonprofit’s most valuable financial partners, your accounting advisor and your bank, work together.
Join Barnes Dennig, The National Bank of Indianapolis, and local community leaders for a panel discussion exploring how to:
- Build more accurate and useful cash flow forecasts.
- Identify funding gaps before they become urgent.
- Align banking tools with fund restrictions, internal controls, reserve strategies, and organizational policies.
- Create account structures and financial processes that support cleaner reporting and smoother audits.
- Bring banking and accounting partners into planning conversations at the right time.
- Use financial insights to respond to opportunities and keep the mission moving forward.
Bring your questions, learn from experienced nonprofit leaders and advisors, and stay for refreshments and conversation with fellow members of Central Indiana’s nonprofit community.
