At OneSource Center, we value connection and collaboration. We are pleased to announce two new partnerships that will supplement our consulting services. These collaborations are the result of intentional consideration into what we have heard is needed from the nonprofit community. We are now working with JVS Careers, FORVIS, and VonLehman CPA Advisory Firm to support demand in human resource and financial operations.
Having solid human resources is foundational to all organizations and recruiting new staff is a time-consuming and difficult task for nonprofits. OneSource Center is now working with JVS Careers to supplement our internal HR-related consulting services. When you are looking to strengthen your team or for your next staff search, contact us to learn how we and JVS Careers can help.
Good accounting and internal controls are critical for daily operations. Our Financial Review is a basic assessment using best practices from nonprofit financial management. We are collaborating with CPAs from FORVIS and VonLehman CPA Advisory Firm to facilitate the Financial Review and provide expert guidance to review and improve your financial operations and processes.
We are happy to provide expanded support to nonprofits through these partnerships. To learn more about these and other consulting services, read our blog post with more details or contact Amanda Lynn Barker at abarker@onesourcectr.org.
