Definitely try to have an accountant or someone help you out the first year. We've had the pleasure of working with CPAs that really got our finances in order and it would be great if all teams could have help like this. It also helps when they know all 501c3 protocols. As for marketing, its probably one of the best ways to get team members involved in the non engineering part of the team. As of now I'm trying to enlist the help of a my brother who is studying to be a CFA and also a graduate of Lehigh who I know (awesome business program there).

Good luck and PM or IM me if you need more help.
