Three pillars of practice

What we actually do.

01
Strategic financial leadership

Senior judgment in the room when the decision actually happens.

Embedded executive guidance for leadership teams making decisions about growth, compensation, programming, and runway — without the cost of a full-time CFO.

Fractional CFO partnership

Embedded with leadership and the board through real decisions and tradeoffs.

Cash & runway pacing

A live picture of what the organization can sustain and when.

Strategic finance counsel

Quiet, senior input on the calls that change the trajectory.

02
Reporting & budget clarity

Numbers that read clearly, hold up to scrutiny, and drive action.

Reports your board and leadership can actually read, and budgets that mirror how programs and operations actually run — not last year's spreadsheet.

Monthly leadership reporting

Accurate, readable, tied to the decisions in front of you.

Operating budgets & scenarios

Realistic structure with what-if levers leadership controls.

Financial policies & systems

Reserves, spending authority, approvals, monthly review cadence.

03
Program economics & funder readiness

Know what works, fund what does, tell the story you can defend.

Program-by-program clarity and funder-facing financial framing that makes the strongest parts of your mission obvious and defensible.

True program cost modeling

What programs really cost — and which ones are sustainable.

Restricted vs. unrestricted clarity

What's actually available for overhead, ops, and growth.

Donor-ready framing

Financial narratives boards and funders trust.
