As a CFO who has his career in the nonprofit trenches, I am officially declaring a moratorium on the "Overhead Apology." We have spent decades conditioned by watchdog groups and well-meaning but misguided donors to believe that the "best" nonprofits are the ones that starve their own infrastructure.

We’ve been told that every dollar spent on a high-quality accountant, a modern CRM, or an HR professional is a dollar "taken away" from the mission.

I’m here to tell you the opposite.

Join JBL Strategies for a conversation with Sean Hale, founder and lead consultant of Austin, Texas-based Nonprofit CFOs. In this interview, Sean shares key insights on how nonprofits can build habits that support long-term financial resilience and navigate finances in the age of AI.

Nonprofits with revenue and expenses that change every month risk running out of cash with little notice. A cash flow projection reduces the risk and help you see cash shortfalls months earlier, when a small corrective action can still avert a big disaster.

Why do nonprofits struggle to find financial support these days?
I got to have a coffee conversation about this with Ginny Waller of Waller Consulting plus a few more topics!

What do small nonprofits need to know about finance and accounting? It got to appear on the Everything Nonprofit Podcast where we address questions like what is the chart of accounts, making engaging financial reports, and making difficult budget decisions.
