Finance and operations leadership for 501(c)(6) associations.
Industry and trade associations run on dues, chapter finance, and event revenue, with a governance structure that often spans multiple committees and geographies. At the Global Technology Industry Association, we rebuilt financial operations from the ground up alongside an organizational restructuring.
Why associations bring us in.
Membership dues cycles, chapter accounting, event-driven revenue, and a governance model that stretches across multiple committees all put pressure on the finance function. Rebuilds are common when an association scales past its founding operating model.
The services associations reach for.
