Project details

What we need
  • An Excel spreadsheet custom-built specifically for the Organization's finances
  • Training on how to use the spreadsheet to understand the current financial situation and predict future states (e.g., plan for budget increases or decreases, hiring, and other key drivers)
Additional details

We are transforming an organization from a group of volunteers to a purpose driven, strategically focused health promotion charity. This involves investment and risk, and we would like to manage this responsibly so that we can remain viable and position our organization for growth. We also need to demonstrate to our stakeholders the impact of their support.

What we have in place
  • We currently have clear financial reports, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a commitment to grow into a sustainable organization, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $11,794 , allowing us to provide thought leadership and tangible responses to help teenagers and their families in Israel and Australia who are struggling with Eating Disorders.

All of the best programing can only be enacted when it is financially viable. We have innovative and exciting plans in place and want to ensure that they are sustainable and will enable our organization to grow. Your input will help us mature to the next level as an organization.

Testimonials

John took the time to understand the challenges I am facing, met me on multiple occasions over a long period of time and applied his significant expertise to address my needs. He developed a customized excel tool to enable me to report in detail on financial activities and to plan accurately and effectively for future activities. John very patiently trained me in the use of this resource, and has offered to assist in its future implementation. The level of expertise that this now affords me is something that previously would have been unattainable. I am extremely grateful to John, and cannot recommend him highly enough!

Financial Planning Project

It was great to work with Miriam. This project presented me with some interesting challenges as Miriam was working to make a significant change in the organization's mission and funding base. This led to numerous conversations on what the new organization would look like and how to model an annual budget. I learned a lot from this experience and hope to have the opportunity to work with Miriam again.
