Feel more confident with your organization’s finances

At Sagebrush Nonprofit Strategies, I work with Executive Directors and Board Treasurers to help them build the kind of financial partnership that turns numbers from a reporting obligation into one of your most powerful leadership tools.

Everything I offer is designed to connect your finances to your strategy and your mission.

The Core of What I Do

When the ED and Board Treasurer operate with shared language, clear roles, and a rhythm of communication that works before, during, and after every board meeting, financial conversations stop being a source of stress and start being a driver of strategic clarity.

My Signature Coaching Program

Treasurer Clarity Coaching Package

Clarify the roles. Strengthen the relationship. Elevate your board's financial conversations.

Most Board Treasurers step into the role with genuine commitment and no roadmap. Most Executive Directors quietly carry the financial burden and aren't sure how to ask for the partnership they need. This package closes that gap.

3 focused sessions (virtual) + 1 follow-up (virtual), over 3–4 weeks

Financial Clarity Session and Annual Budget Sessions

90-Minute Financial Clarity Session

One focused conversation. A written roadmap. Complete clarity on where your financial leadership stands.

In 90 minutes, we'll map your current financial leadership reality, identify the gaps that carry the most risk, and build a concrete roadmap you can take back to your board. You'll leave with a written blueprint whether or not we work together further — this is a diagnostic and planning tool, not a sales call.
