About Greene River Consulting
Growing a Nonprofit Is Hard. I’ve Been There.
I’ve worked as a small organization Executive Director and coached many others in that role. I know what it’s like to learn to fly the plane while you’re still building it, sometimes at night in a snowstorm and upside down. The work is immersive and often lonely. And for small nonprofits, adding staff isn’t always an option. That’s why having a trusted partner can make such a difference.
Greene River Consulting exists to give nonprofit leaders a partnership that’s calm, clear, and grounded in real experience.
How We Help
I bring both the technical side of finance and the human side of leadership to every engagement. My role is part coach, part CFO, and part interpreter. I help you make sense of the details so you can make confident decisions.
Clients often say I help them “make it make sense.” Whether that means budgets, board conversations, or audit prep, we work together to find approaches that fit your style and your organization’s reality.
You know your mission. My job is to help you build the structure and confidence to sustain it.
What We Focus On
Nonprofit Knowledge
We cover the topics you need most, from budgeting and grant management to board relationships and staff leadership.
Skills and Tactics
Together we identify patterns, strengthen communication, and find better ways to handle recurring challenges. Sometimes that means writing scripts for tough conversations or mapping out decision flows. Sometimes it’s simply thinking out loud with someone who gets it.
I Get It
I’ve been where you are. I understand the challenges, the pressure, and the heart that drive this work. Greene River Consulting exists to help you steady the financial side so you can lead with clarity, confidence, and calm.
Support and Accountability
Leadership can be heavy. I help you find steady ways forward, bringing both perspective and practical steps that make progress feel doable.
Our Core Values
People learn, think, and work in different ways.
Expecting everyone to operate the same way damages confidence. Recognizing strengths builds success and satisfaction.
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Most nonprofit leaders hold themselves to high standards. But growth comes from focusing on what matters most, not from chasing perfection.
Intentionality is key.
Things will happen whether you plan or not. Investing a little time upfront gives you more control and helps keep your mission at the center of everything you do.
Change starts small and with intention.
Let’s face it – change is hard. People are creatures of habit, especially around finances and operations. Small, intentional changes build the habits that make growth possible.
