Monthly News & Updates March 2026 | Issue 3-26
| | The month of March holds significant importance for us at LNB Accounting as we proudly celebrate both Women’s History Month and Francophonie Month (Le Mois de la Francophonie). These celebrations resonate deeply with our core values, reflecting our identity as a women-owned and a business serving both English and French-speaking clients. We recognize the vital role that diversity and empowerment play in shaping our community, and we are committed to honoring the contributions of women throughout history while also embracing the richness of French culture and language. By highlighting these milestones, we not only celebrate our heritage but also reinforce our dedication to fostering inclusivity and connection within both the English and French-speaking communities we serve. | | | You are invited to a beautiful evening celebrating the French‑speaking world! Expect music, poetry, theatre, and cultural performances—organized by the Bay Area francophone (French-speaking) community and sponsored by LNB Accounting. Everyone is welcome! | | How Women's History Month Intersects With Accounting Work. | March is Women’s History Month, and for a woman-led, community‑anchored firm like yours, it’s a natural moment to integrate visibility, education, and empowerment into your client communications. | | How Francophonie Month (Le Mois de la Francophonie) Fits Into March. | Francophonie Month is observed throughout March globally, even though the official day is March 20. This aligns beautifully with our dual identity: CPA Firm + Francophone cultural leader in the Bay Area. | | The Rise Of The Certified Nonprofit Accounting Professional: Why Nonprofits Need This Skillset Now More Than Ever? | Why traditional accounting often falls short for Nonprofits? If you are using accounting support designed for for-profit businesses, you may already feel the gaps. | | Business Valuation Methods That Actually Reflect Reality (Not Textbook Theory). | If you own a business, manage capital, or oversee finance, valuation is not about getting a number. It's about understanding what makes your business valuable, how that value is, and where it is vulnerable. | |
