Bonnie Gettys, President/CEO
“The team at Bisher Wade has a deep understanding of community foundations and fund accounting. They are easy to work with and will step in and help whenever we need some additional support.”
What motivated you to look for an outsourced Chief Financial Officer (CFO)?
“We were already in an outsourced CFO arrangement but were unhappy with the results. There aren’t any outsourced CFO firms locally so we connected with the Bisher Wade team. We found they had a lot of experience with community foundations, which was really important to us.”
What services does Bisher Wade provide?
“They serve as a CFO consultant, do all of our month end reconciliation, and provide technical support. When I’m out of the office, they can act as my replacement, running payroll checks, etc. as need.”
How has Bisher Wade’s partnership helped your organization as a whole?
“I have peace of mind that I have that expert behind me. Working with Bisher Wade has given me more confidence in our accounting practices and financial reporting. Our board and staff also are more comfortable with our financial statements. Overall, we have more faith that everything is correct and our presentation is more professional. Hiring the Bisher Wade team has taken things off my plate and allows me to step away from the role of CFO, which I shouldn’t be filling anyway.”
