GAAP. Reforecasts. Balance sheet. Cash flow. Accrual basis of accounting. Is your head spinning yet? As administrators working in arts education, we are often trained as facilitators, educators, and artists. But we rarely get training on non-profit bookkeeping and accounting.

Join the Roundtable for Finance 101 for Arts Administrators and learn essential bookkeeping practices, how to read/create a budget, and more! Now’s your chance to ask a panel of non-profit professionals all the questions you want to know about finance (but were too afraid to ask).

Registration is FREE and open to all. Online registration is now closed.

Space is limited. In the case that the event sells out, interested attendees may continue to register and will be added to a waitlist pending availability.
