Cleveland Area Nonprofit Professionals Earn Opportunity to Take CNAP Exam

As the exclusive licensed provider in Cuyahoga County, Zinner & Co. recently presented the Certified Nonprofit Accounting Professional (CNAP) course to area professionals working in or with the not-for-profit industry. 

The program was made possible by Partner Sue Krantz, who is a member of the Executive Committee of Nonprofit CPAs through The Rainmaker Alliance, a national association management company for accounting firms. 

CNAP, the only nationally recognized certification program for nonprofit accounting professionals, earns high accolades from graduates for its comprehensive curriculum and is recognized as the gold standard training for nonprofit financial professionals. Participants attended the multi-day course followed by a comprehensive exam. Upon passing, the attendee is awarded the CNAP designation. 

The credential is designed for those who have fiscal responsibilities or budget oversight, serve as board members, volunteers, or trustees, or manage the operations of not-for-profit entities and organizations. The program includes practical skills that can be immediately applied to day-to-day operations, including:

• Financial Reporting
• Internal Controls
• Budget Development
• Governance

The firm is the exclusive licensed provider in the Cleveland area and is currently reserving seats for those interested in the next session, slated to be held later in the year. Interested folks can email CNAPCleveland@zinner.com to be added to the course information list.
