Fractional Sr. Finance work for the food‑bank warehouse floor.
Human-services and food-security nonprofits run on grant-restricted funding, in-kind donations, inventory cycles, and program-scale headcount. We know the muscle memory: the San Diego Food Bank ran an interim Director of Accounting engagement with us during a permanent recruitment.
Why food banks and human-services agencies bring us in.
The finance work sits on top of a program that measures success in meals served or clients housed. Restricted funds, in-kind valuations, and government reimbursement cycles all have to reconcile monthly. Interim coverage during a search cannot mean the audit prep slips.
