WALTHAM, MA–( EMWNews – April 7, 2008) – The following are story ideas from Accounting

Management Solutions, Inc. (AMS), the leading provider of outsourced

accounting, financial management, and recruiting services to emerging

companies and public, private, and nonprofit organizations throughout New

England, with operations in the New York City area.

AMS can provide authoritative comment, background information, or by-lined

articles relating to the following:

1) Working mothers as a source of high-value finance and accounting

professionals

Companies experiencing difficulty finding properly qualified finance and

accounting professionals should consider women who used to work in the

field but who left to raise children. They’re experienced, knowledgeable,

are great time managers, and available part time. Companies that are

flexible in the way they work can tap this source of expertise.

2) Functioning in a recession

It’s all about managing risk. Planning is key, including developing

contingency budgets, managing cash flow, negotiating harder, and assessing

risks tied to customers, suppliers, contractors, and business partners.

3) Budgeting for nonprofits

The annual budgeting process provides nonprofits with more than just an

opportunity to plan next year’s operations. It also lets them tie those

plans to their overall strategy and position the organization for

programmatic and financial success.

4) Using employee retention as a competitive advantage

Nearly all hiring managers agree: finding the right talent is never easy,

even when the economy is slowing with more people looking for work. One of

the most effective long-term strategies is to take care of the people you

already have on board so you won’t have to hire as often.

5) Working with your board

This is a critical task for any organization, whether or not it is publicly

traded or privately held. Key issues to consider: skill sets your company

needs, whom to invite on to the board, setting rules, defining board member

responsibilities, and communicating with board members.
