Summary: Outsourcing non-core functions can be an excellent way to save money, get more or better results and free up time so your team can focus on the organization’s core mission. The question many nonprofits face is, “How do we get started?” and “How will this impact our day-to-day work processes?” Hear from Enkel leadership and pointA as they share the details of what it’s really like to work with an outsourced back office services partner. The session covers:

  • Perspectives on the client onboarding process and what it’s like to get started 
  • What is typically expected of your organization vs. the outsourcing partner
  • Typical reporting outputs and how to use them effectively to guide your strategy
  • Benefits of long-term partnerships with back office services partners
