Over one third of CFOs surveyed report human resource limitations and team bandwidth as the PRIMARY challenge in meeting the expectations of their CEO. Nonprofit finance departments are often juggling the day-to-day accounting and bookkeeping responsibilities alongside more complex and time consuming tasks, such as: HR-related activities; optimizing revenue; mergers & collaborations; data & cyber security; managing the IT investment decision-making process; business process improvements; implementing new accounting standards; and staying ahead of industry benchmarks. This diversity requires constant evaluation of situational or cyclical resource needs, as well as consideration of technological and outsourced options, economic and funding changes, and workforce aptitude & synergies.
