Helping faith-based nonprofits stay audit-ready, compliant, and operationally healthy—without hiring full-time leadership.
Senior nonprofit operations support for ministries navigating growth, compliance, and complexity.
Who This Is For
Faith-based nonprofits and ministries that:
- Are growing faster than their internal systems
- Rely on spreadsheets, workarounds, or institutional memory
- Feel exposed around audits, compliance, or governance
- Need experienced operational leadership—but not full-time
What I Provide
Fractional operations and compliance support tailored to the realities of faith-based and international ministry work.
Typical areas of support include:
- Audit readiness and compliance oversight
- Financial operations and internal controls
- Donor management and reporting systems
- HR systems, policies, and documentation
- Expense management and approval workflows
- SOP development and operational clarity
- Board- and leadership-ready reporting
Support is practical, steady, and designed to strengthen your organization without disrupting its mission.
How Engagements Usually Work
Most organizations engage on a monthly retainer, providing:
- Ongoing operational and compliance review
- Advisory support for leadership and boards
- Systems oversight and improvement
- Risk identification before issues become crises
One-time projects—such as audit readiness assessments or systems transitions—are also available when appropriate.
