Certified Nonprofit Accounting Professional Training

Course Overview:

The Certified Nonprofit Accounting Professional (CNAP) program, to be delivered virtually by Councilor, Buchanan & Mitchell, P.C. (CBM) on May 20-21, 2025, is a two-day training and exam-based certification program that provides not-for-profit bookkeepers, staff accountants, consultants, executives and other non-CPA professionals with the rigorous professional development they need to be effective financial managers for their not-for-profit employers or clients. Upon completion of the program, eligible participants can apply to receive approximately 8-12 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits.
