AAFCPAs advises human & social service providers to broaden the scope of their financial planning process to address the challenges of the current economic and funding landscape, and to ensure sustainability for the long-term. AAFCPAs Robin Kelley and Jeanie Gorlovsky-Schepp will share their expertise over a 90-minute, interactive workshop to impart best practice recommendations so nonprofit attendees may preserve their capacity to deliver on their missions, even in the event of unforeseen financial shortages.
