Budgeting Beyond Spreadsheets: Financial Planning Strategies for Growing Nonprofits
8
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Most nonprofit finance teams are running budgeting processes built for a smaller organization... or a smaller workload. As grants multiply and boards ask for more real-time visibility, the instinct is often to add headcount. But the real fix is usually getting more out of the tools you already have.
Join Chazin and Martus for a session on moving beyond spreadsheet-based budgeting without adding staff. We'll cover how modern budgeting software reduces manual work, how to build reports that answer funder and board questions before they're asked, and how to scale your process as your organization grows.
This session is for you if you:
- Manage budgets across multiple programs, departments, or restricted funds
- Handle funder or board reporting and want it to take less manual effort
- Are part of a lean finance team looking to do more with what you have
