The Pros and Cons of Running an Association on Volunteer Power
If you lead a professional association, community club, or grassroots non-profit, you know the drill: your budget is tightly managed, your mission is ambitious, and your to-do list is endless. To get things done, you rely heavily on the ultimate lifeblood of the independent sector—volunteers.
Depending on volunteers to run your association is a classic double-edged sword. While it keeps your doors open, it also introduces unique operational hurdles that can stall your growth.
At NewPath Consulting, we help membership-based organizations streamline their operations. Let’s dive into the major positive and negative consequences of a volunteer-dependent model—and how you can use smart automation to strike the perfect balance.
AccountBridge™ Integrates WildApricot & QuickBooks Online
Today, we are thrilled to present AccountBridge™—the world’s first Software as a Service (SaaS) that integrates WildApricot and QuickBooks Online. With AccountBridge™, the barrier to entry has vanished.
From Chaos to Clarity: The Evolution of WildApricot Accounting and the Birth of AccountBridge™
The solution, AccountBridge™, is an automated software-as-a-service (SaaS) bridge that:
• Eliminates manual data entry by continuously synchronizing transactions.
• Provides Granular Mapping: It dissects a single WildApricot invoice to distribute line items (membership dues, event add-ons, store sales) to the correct QuickBooks Chart of Accounts with surgical precision.
• Enables Automated Class Tracking for instant “Profit & Loss by Class” reports, making it easy to track the profitability of specific events or programs.
• Reduces costs and makes accounting flow an “infrastructure,” rather than a personal task reliant on volunteers.
