Outsourcing Nonprofit Accounting Solves Hiring Challenges – Recently Reuters Business News reported that the number of job openings exceeded the number of hires in the month of March.
This metric is a bellwether of ongoing hiring challenges for nonprofit organizations. With more open positions than talent to fill those positions, an open position within your organization may stay open for much, much longer than you’d like. Another manifestation of the current jobs market is that more employees are leaving to take higher paying positions elsewhere.
Do you simply wait it out with fingers crossed, hoping that the right candidate will find their way to you?
You can’t ignore your accounting duties. Eventually it will cost you. It might be a nuisance cost of a late fee because a bill wasn’t paid on time. It might come in the form of a messy audit. It might even result in losing a grant award.
