Financial Counseling Program for Independent Schools
In February, our team members, Toby Potterton and Barnaby Bullard, participated in the NBOA Annual Conference to share information about Atlas’ Financial Counseling Program for Employees of Independent Schools. Atlas has a long history of providing this one-on-one counseling program to the faculty and staff of independent schools in the northeast. In addition to involving more team members and enhancing the service we are hoping to expand our sphere of influence to other schools around the country.
