A nonprofit is often ready for fractional CFO expertise when preparing for a fundraising initiative or capital campaign, managing multiple restricted grants, facing an audit, growing beyond the current finance function, or bridging a CFO transition. Fractional CFO engagements for nonprofits typically cost 30-75% of a full-time CFO's total compensation, scaled to the organization's needs. Learn more about the role: Fractional CFO for a Nonprofit.

We prepare audit-ready financials, support grant compliance, fund accounting, and donor and board reporting.

Nonprofit fundraising preparation involves six coordinated steps: clarifying what the organization is raising money for, building a compelling case for support, getting the financial house in order, aligning the board around fundraising, building a qualified prospect pipeline, and installing the donor management systems. Preparation typically takes 60 to 90 days for a nonprofit with basic infrastructure in place. Our nonprofit practice supports this work through fractional CFO, COO, and CHRO engagements, board governance advisory, and coordination with philanthropy advisors. See our full guide: How to Prepare a Nonprofit for Fundraising.

We design governance structures, facilitate strategic planning, and provide board training and leadership alignment.
-
Fundraising readiness is the coordinated result of four disciplines: strategic (a compelling case for support), financial (accurate current financials and credible cash flow), governance (an engaged board that participates in fundraising), and operational (donor systems, prospect pipeline, and stewardship in place). A gap in any one discipline can undermine strength in the other three. Learn more about the four disciplines: Nonprofit Fundraising Readiness.
