I’m very proud to again be partnering with the National Society of Accountants for Cooperatives (NSAC) to offer an entertaining and educational upcoming webinar, “Hippie Co-ops? Expanding Your Co-op Expertise to Other Cooperative Niches“, on Tuesday, February 21, 2023, at 2 PM ET/1 PM CT/ 12 PM MT/ 11 AM PT.

The focus of this webinar is to teach existing accountants who are already familiar with co-op accounting about the similarities and differences between the types of clients they already work with, and contrast them against a few other co-op types that are becoming more popular.

Consumer, Housing, and Worker Co-ops have been around for a long time and are experiencing a surge in popularity, but many experienced cooperative accountants know little about them. By introducing NSAC members and other accountants to unfamiliar cooperative structures, they can leverage their existing expertise in areas common to all co-ops, and build on that knowledge. We will explore these three co-op types and learn to recognize what they have in common with other co-ops, as well as explain the differences. Our goal is to help identify and create additional business opportunities for cooperative accountants to expand their scope and offerings.

The learning objectives will be:
1) Identify distinguishing characteristics of consumer, housing and worker co-ops.
2) Recognize the unique benefits and challenges of each type, as well as common industries.
3) Explore additional resources and next steps to expand scope and offerings to potential clients.

Normally the cost is $56 for the one-hour session for non-NSAC members, but they have been generous enough to allow me to offer a code to blog readers to attend at no charge. Simply visit:
