Working Together

PART TIME FD

A good not for profit finance director is the lynchpin for any charity looking to get their approach to financial stewardship right. They lead on the three key areas of financial strategy, effective management processes and a strong finance environment, and act as a key source of information and advice for your Board. But what if your charity struggles to find someone with this skill set? Or perhaps you are still growing, and your team isn’t yet ready for a full time FD? I can help. I can provide FD services for your charity on a part time, flexible basis that can adapt to your changing needs from month to month and year to year, giving you access to the skills and experience you need at a cost that fits your budget.

INTERIM FD

Does your charity need a finance director on a short-term basis to steer you through a period of change, to implement a particular project, to cover a leave of absence or to bridge the gap between appointments? I can help. My breadth of experience and strategic approach helps me hit the ground running and make an impact in a relatively short space of time.

SHORT TERM PROJECTS

The right strategic advice at the right time can help transform your charity’s approach to financial management and governance. I can work with you on specific projects to provide insight and challenge, and help you develop and implement plans for change. I can advise across a whole range of strategic, operational and financial issues, and have included a number of examples of successful past projects here.

TRAINING AND FACILITATION

Does your Board need a refresher on the roles and responsibilities they take on as trustees? Or perhaps a deeper dive into charity finance? Would you benefit from an independent facilitator at your Board or finance team away day? I can help. I can provide tailored training and facilitation focussed on your organisation’s circumstances which will help build skills, open up conversations and support your teams to work effectively together. My training and facilitation sessions have been described as “energetic”, “knowledgeable and thorough”, “full of practical advice and examples” and “surprisingly interesting” (!)

COACHING

Are you a finance director or treasurer looking for support and challenge in your current role? Or do you want to improve your strategic thinking, gravitas and impact to achieve success? I can help. I work with charity finance professionals as a performance coach, blending coaching skills with my practical sector experience to support you in achieving your goals.
