NEEDHAM, Mass., Jan. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- After 16+ years at AccuFund's helm, Peter Stam retires, effective January 31, 2018. Peter will continue to be involved at a strategic planning level. Gordon Holfelder has assumed the role of President after serving as Vice President since the company's inception. Ian Scotland is named Vice President and General Manager. 

Since 2001, AccuFund has provided nonprofits and government agencies with state-of-the-art financial software, helping clients grow and improve their overall financial management.

I've enjoyed getting to know our clients, their business, and helping them build financial solutions that contribute to their community's success, "explains Peter Stam, "I take great pride in knowing we have built a strong business that will continue helping our clients serve their communities." In retirement, Peter looks forward to spending more time with family and friends, enjoying time on Martha's Vineyard, and traveling.

As news spread throughout the nonprofit sector, industry leaders offered their congratulations.  Paul Clolery, Vice President/Editorial Director at The Nonprofit Times shared, "Peter was always one of the more thoughtful executives to whom I turned, even on topics that did not involve accounting software. He had a sense of where the marketplace was going based not only on his own sales but also on what he was learning from customers and others in the industry." 

Amy DeVita, COO at TopNonprofits added, "Peter Stam has always inspired me with his incredible spirit and commitment to the nonprofit sector. I've particularly been impressed with his passion for providing the nonprofit sector with an accounting solution they can rely on, allowing them to really focus time and efforts on their actual mission.  I wish him the best in his retirement."
