Why sector experience matters
Running an NFP comes with a layer of financial complexity most businesses don't carry. Grant acquittals, restricted funding rules and board reporting are the real shape of the work in this sector, and that shape changes from organisation to organisation.
​
We've worked alongside organisations like Port Lincoln Aboriginal Health Service, supporting boards and finance teams through exactly this kind of complexity. Understanding your organisation's specific context always comes first, before any advice does.
That's the standard behind every relationship we build in this space.
How it works
We know a decision like this isn't usually made by one person. It typically involves the CEO, often the board, and whoever's currently holding the finance function together internally. That's expected, and we're happy to be part of those conversations, not just wait for a decision to land on our desk.
​
The first call is simply that, a conversation about where the organisation is at, what board reporting currently looks like, and whether we're a genuine fit for how you operate.
In the words of an Outsource Finance client...
"Helping us work smarter across the whole organisation, not just in our finance department. The services have changed the mindset of the board to looking for opportunities and thinking like a business. We're like a well oiled machine now."

FAQ's
You get the same calibre of financial thinking without carrying a full-time salary for it. The arrangement scales with the organisation, so you're not stuck paying for more than you need, or outgrowing what you've got.
Yes, this is built to sit alongside them, not replace them. Most organisations we work with have someone managing the day-to-day, and we come in at the strategic and reporting level, working with that person rather than around them.
Yes, that's part of the reporting we build around your funding requirements, not a separate service you have to organise elsewhere.
In language your board can actually use. Reports are built to answer the questions a board is going to ask, not just to satisfy a compliance requirement.
Most of our Outsourced Finance clients sit somewhere between 25 and 100 staff, and are grant-funded. If that's roughly where you sit, this is very likely built for you.
Who is this for?
Organisations with somewhere between 25 and 100 staff. Grant-funded, working with restricted and unrestricted funding, and answering to a board as well as the community you serve.
You might have someone in an internal finance role already, a BDM, an accounts person, someone doing their best without necessarily having the technical background the role now demands. Either way, if board reporting has become a source of pressure rather than confidence, this was built for you.
