NFP Finance Breakfast & Learn – Toronto

Close Strong: Preparing Your Nonprofit Finance Team for Year-End

📅 Date: November 24, 2026
⏰ Time: 8:15 AM – 9:30 AM (ET)
📍 Sage Toronto Office | 62nd floor of Scotia Plaza at 40 King Street West

Year-end is one of the busiest times for nonprofit finance teams. Between closing the books, preparing for audit, managing restricted funds and grants, and delivering accurate reporting to leadership and boards, there’s a lot to get right, often with limited time and resources.

Join a small group of nonprofit CFOs, Controllers, VPs and Directors of Finance for breakfast and an open conversation about how finance teams can close the year with greater confidence and less manual effort.

It’s an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, compare approaches with peers, and discuss what’s working and what’s still creating challenges as organizations prepare for year-end.

  • Simplifying the year-end close
  • Improving audit and reporting readiness
  • Managing funds, grants and financial visibility
  • Reducing manual processes and finance team workload

Join fellow nonprofit finance leaders for practical discussion, peer insights and breakfast at the Sage Toronto office.
