AI in Action: Practical Tools for Nonprofit Finance Teams
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2026 | 2 - 3 PM ET
Nonprofit finance teams are asked to do more with less. Month-end close runs long, reconciliations eat hours, and tax and grant reviews pull your team away from the mission. AI can help, but the real question is where to start.
Join Aprio’s Nonprofit Consulting and Data & AI teams for a practical session built around live demos. As a certified Microsoft and Anthropic partner, Aprio brings hands-on experience putting these tools to work inside finance teams. You’ll see examples on how Microsoft Copilot in Excel can roll a month-end workbook forward with ease, and how a purpose-built Tax Review Agent helps your team review faster while staying in control. We’ll also cover key market trends, lessons learned from real implementations, and how to get started safely with the right governance and data security in place. You’ll leave with a clear first step your team can take in the next 90 days.
Learning Objectives:
-
Identify nonprofit finance and accounting processes where AI and automation can improve efficiency, including month-end close, reconciliations and review activities.
-
Describe how Microsoft Copilot and purpose-built AI agents can support common nonprofit finance workflows.
-
Evaluate important governance and data security considerations when adopting AI within the nonprofit finance function.
