Description:

As a current or aspiring nonprofit consultant, your goal is likely to boost your income without working extra hours, all while enhancing your client relationships and work quality.

To achieve this, it’s essential to work smarter, not harder. 

However, it’s often challenging to limit client engagement time without compromising the quality of your relationships and work. Inefficient business practices can lead to missed deadlines, dropped balls, and increased frustration.

During this webinar, Marie Palacios will help you identify and create templates that will streamline interactions with your clients and ensure you consistently deliver high-quality products. By adopting a “timesaving-template mindset,” you can transform the way you work with clients, potentially saving hundreds of hours each year and allowing you to take on more clients and increase your revenue.

What You’ll Learn:

• What templates are and why you should use them;
• Lessons learned the hard way from a seasoned consultant;
• The essential templates you should consider developing; and,
• Tips for creating templates which can streamline your consulting work.

You’ll walk away with samples and tools you can use to create or enhance templates for your consulting business.

This webinar is ideal for professionals exploring, launching, or growing their nonprofit consulting business.

Do you find yourself asking questions about accounting, business structure, what’s a write-off and what’s not, and how to save the most money as a business owner? Would you like to know the answer to these questions and more, so you can better grasp how to run your business effectively, when it’s time to outsource your accounting, and what you are responsible for when it comes to reporting financials?

Most consultants have a special skill and want to start a business so they can take a deep dive into their unique brilliance AND make money without working for someone else, or on someone else’s schedule. But, not everyone knows the ins and outs of when to be on payroll, how much they should pay themselves, what quarterly taxes are, etc.

Working with clients, planting seeds for future work, keeping projects moving forward, and planning next steps in your business is a full-time job. If you are ready to learn what you need to know about accounting for your business, and some nifty tips and tricks to save you a little money too, this session is for you.

My amazing bookkeeper/accountant has agreed to join me for the one-time event to answer all our accounting/bookkeeping questions!
 

We we’ll cover:

• Questions to consider when determining if you should be on payroll.
• Parameters for determining how much you should pay yourself, if you ARE on payroll.
• What are quarterly taxes and how do you know if you need to pay them, and how to calculate how much to pay quarterly.
• What are annual reports and who files them.
• What questions to ask when exploring hiring an accountant/bookkeeper.
• How much to budget for accounting/bookkeeping services.
• 6 deductions small business owners should be aware of, and how to document them
• Pros and cons of hiring vs contracting
• What types of things should you ask for/expect an accountant/bookkeeper to do, and how often.
• What are the pros/cons to consider about various business structures.

Most of us weren’t trained to be entrepreneurs. We have a skill and decide to go at it on our own. Along the way, we build a toolkit of skills along with a ton of scars.

Mandy Pearce, founder of Funding For Good, will join Beth in this 90-minute session to share her personal experiences that led her from living bill-to-bill to a six-figure business that provides her family with freedom and security to live the life of their dreams.

Join us for this lively and honest session about the tough lessons we learned and how we used them to grow our successful businesses.

What we’ll cover:

• Perspective on thoughts and actions that hinder personal and professional growth

Contract Considerations for Nonprofit Consultants

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a client engagement thinking, “I’ll never do THIS again!” or “I would have charged a lot more if I had known clients were going to do this!”

Maybe you are just starting out in the world of consulting, and you aren’t even sure what you could or should include in a contract to cover yourself, make your life easier, keep the client accountable, and reduce your stress.

A well-crafted contract helps consultants and clients understand and manage expectations. Join us for this session to learn best practices, sample verbiage you may consider using, and questions to consider as you craft these vital documents for the success of your business.

Creating and Streamlining Scopes of Work

A well-crafted Scope of Work can lead to the discovery of a great client prospect or just as easily identify and point out an individual or group that may NOT be an ideal fit. Once a SOW can be agreed upon, it’s the tool that supports a thorough contract and serves as the roadmap for a successful engagement. 

If creating a SOW seems nebulous or evokes anxiety, fear not. During this session, we’ll dive into what a SOW is, why you need it, how it serves as a GREAT tool for you and your clients, considerations as you craft scopes, and components of truly excellent SOWs. 

We’ll share real-life examples from our own experiences (both good and bad), verbiage we use to cover ourselves AND our clients in our scopes, and how we use scopes to build effective communication and realistic expectations with clients and client prospects.

What We’ll Cover

• What is a scope of work
• Pre-crafting checklist
• Key components of SOW
• Benefits of utilizing scopes of work

Bonus Materials

• A PDF of the presentation slides
