Free 30-minute consultation

A 30-minute call with Lorin. No pitch.

Bring the question your board keeps asking. Lorin will tell you honestly whether we can help, what she would do first, and what a scoped engagement would look like.

Advisor and executive reviewing printed financial charts across a conference table.

What to expect on the call

  • An honest read on whether we are the right fit.
  • One or two things you can act on immediately, at no charge.
  • A clear next step if a scoped engagement makes sense.
What you get out of it

Practical answers, not a sales pitch.

  • A senior read on your finance operation
    Lorin has led finance for food banks, museums, zoos, and associations. Thirty minutes is enough to spot the highest-leverage next move.
  • A written scope if we can help
    You leave with hours, outcomes, and a start date on paper. Not a follow-up sequence, not a proposal deck.
  • A referral if we cannot
    If nonprofit fractional CFO is not what you need, we will name the peer firm that is.
  • No obligation, no follow-up funnel
    One email confirming the plan. That is it.
