Generally speaking, most nonprofit organizations could greatly benefit from outsourcing their accounting – it’s an accounting makeover.
If you’ve been thinking about hiring someone to handle the organization’s accounting, we urge you to first consider outsourcing. Usually, the cost of outsourcing is less than or equal to the cost of bringing on a new employee – but with many more benefits.
