Insider advice for mission-driven organizations that need financial clarity without building an internal finance team.

The Problem Most Nonprofits Don’t Talk About…

As nonprofits grow, so do the financial headaches.

Siloed spreadsheets. Delayed reporting. Frustrated boards. Scrambling at year-end.

It doesn’t just slow things down. It threatens the mission.

It creates:

• • Donor trust issues

• • Audit anxiety

• • Staff burnout

• • Missed funding opportunities

That’s exactly where Société québécoise de la Schizophrénie (SQS) found themselves.

A growing team. Complex funding. Disconnected financial systems.
And leadership drowning in reconciliations instead of advancing the cause.

The Breaking Point

The board had concerns about management’s ability to deliver financial visibility and stability.

Meanwhile, the executive director was spending hours in spreadsheets trying to answer basic financial questions. Payroll errors piled up. Accounts payable was a time sink. And forecasting was more guesswork than guidance.

The leadership team knew they needed more than a bookkeeper. They needed a partner that could run finance like a real department and restore trust with the board.
