The Pandemic put new pressure on every non-profit and every Board and executive director. As you consider staying remote, or developing a hybrid operation, ensure your financial & operational systems are as secure as when you were in the office.
I am available as a part-time CFO, as well as a short term consultant to help you assess and design the best system for your current needs.
As your Interim Director, I will help your organization move through that important transition of Executive Directors.

I'm also available as an experienced (part time) CFO to advise you and your Board
Think about it:
-
Do your operational systems resemble a crazy quilt?
-
Does audit time cause you to cringe, much like it did last year?

With 30+ years of nonprofit experience, I can evaluate what your organization needs, and will work with you from design to implementation and not disappear before your staff is fully comfortable
