Services Offered:
Financial Management
Work Description:
I help non-profit leaders with financial oversight of their organizations, when they do not have that technical financial/accounting experience or expertise in-house. For larger organizations, this usually means working with the board Treasurer to make sure the proper systems and processes and training are in place for them oversee the work of the financial/accounting staff, and to be confident in presenting the results and information to the board and other stakeholders. In smaller organizations where there isn't a dedicated accountant or financial person on staff, this may mean working with the ED or other volunteers to oversee the work of an external bookkeeper, or to train internal staff on proper financial record keeping or systems to utilize, so that accurate records are prepared to provide to the board or other stakeholders.
Rates:
I only work with non-profit organizations, and typically do not do any work on an hourly rate. I have some services targeted at larger non-profit organizations that are charged at a recurring monthly rate, and all my project services are quoted and charged on a custom per-project basis to ensure there is never any un-budgeted cost overrun. Roughly speaking though, my costs work out to less than what small or mid-sized accounting firm would charge for similar services that are typically more broad and aimed at the for-profit sector. What I do for smaller organizations is try to offer as much free or group advice as possible. This month (November, 2023) I am launching a free bi-weekly newsletter targeted at those overseeing the finances of non-profits of any size, and I am always happy to provide free group calls or webinars to any group of non-profit leaders that are interested in a common topic around accounting/oversight/financial reporting, or to do free 30 minute calls with an individual or single organization as well about as specific topic or issue.
