Built the financial backbone behind a fast-growing community organization.
Rapid program growth, real revenue coming in, and a leadership team making big decisions without a clear runway picture or shared financial language.
Cash benchmark and burn pacing, restricted vs. unrestricted reality, when to invest in compensation, and what guardrails the organization actually needed to grow safely.
A runway model tied to deposits and burn, leadership-facing P&L education, scenario-based planning for compensation and ops, and practical draft policies for reserves, spending authority, contractor structure, and event approvals.
Leadership now leads board financial conversations with confidence. Decisions are made against a model, not a feeling. The organization has a monthly review rhythm and a written framework for how money moves.
