Project details

What we need
  • A detailed Operating Budget covering at least one full fiscal year
  • Expert advice on how to reconcile actual expenses with budgeted expenses
Additional details

Note, we can't edit the "what we need" section above.

What we really need is:

- An expert review of our current operating budget with advice on how to improve it

- In particular advice on how it can be converted from a two-year budget to a three-year budget, and how actions including adding and subtracting funders and members of staff can be made easier.

What we have in place
  • We can provide the current budget spreadsheet for review, of course
How this will help
This project will save us $9,114 , allowing us to invest in our fundraising and financial management capability and help us continue growing as an organisation.

We're a small organisation (c. 10 people) that tracks the environmental and human rights impacts of private sector bank finance. Currently our director spends a lot of time managing our budget spreadsheet, which is fit for purpose but home-made and time-consuming to adjust. Saving some of this time can help make our organisation more effective at stopping bank finance for damaging projects
