NBOA's Essentials of the Business Office is a three-week online course designed for both business officers new to independent schools and current members of the business office staff looking to grow in their roles. Participants share experiences of the ever-changing role of the business officer, from the day-to-day responsibilities to the strategic leadership role.
You will gain a comprehensive understanding of independent school business operations through interacting with the class facilitator and sharing information about your school with online colleagues on an asynchronous learning platform. Discover resources for ongoing operational support and establish a national learning community of peers with whom you can continue to explore the issues of business administration and leadership within independent schools throughout your career.
Each week, a different area of business operations will be covered asynchronously, so that while participants should plan to work three to five hours each week on the class, the timing of that work can be flexible. This class uses a variety of resources including articles, videos, recorded webinars and discussion boards. Topics covered include accounting and tax issues, financial planning and budgeting, tuition management strategies, accounting and audits, human resources, facilities operations and risk management.
This course is offered in partnership with One Schoolhouse.
3-5 hours per week for 3 weeks
