Jayda K. Abernathy
Founder / CEO
Nonprofit organizations are unique. They are formed mostly out of the need to help and serve others. The financial picture of the organization shines light on how well the organization serves the community. Nonprofit accounting is my passion because it fulfills me in two ways – I help my clients manage funds they have been entrusted with and help the people of the community by providing the much-needed assistance from the nonprofit. It is a win for me, the nonprofit, and the community.
Degrees: Business Administration from UN of Arkansas, Pine Bluff and Master of Divinity, Candler School of Theology EMORY University.
Fun Fact: I enjoy reading IRS updates.
