CFO Services
A nonprofit CFO isn’t just a number-cruncher; they’re your financial visionary. Chazin’s expert strategic CFOs serve as the principal advisors for your organization’s board and Executive Director in making and executing all major operational decisions. Backed by our professional expertise, your nonprofit can confidently overcome its toughest financial challenges:
CHALLENGE: TURBULENT TIMES DEMAND FINANCIAL CLARITY
From shifting federal funding to economic uncertainty, nonprofits are navigating one of the most unpredictable financial landscapes in recent history. Every dollar must not only be accounted for but strategically maximized to sustain your mission. How can your organization assess risks, plan ahead, and stay financially resilient?
SOLUTION: STRATEGIC CFO LEADERSHIP FOR STABILITY & GROWTH
Chazin’s Strategic CFO Services provide expert financial guidance to help nonprofits weather uncertainty. We assess potential risks to your funding and financial health, develop proactive strategies to mitigate challenges, and build contingency plans to keep your mission moving forward—no matter what lies ahead.
CHALLENGE: STEADY GROWTH STRAINS INFORMAL PROCEDURES
Perhaps your nonprofit already has a bookkeeping and accounting team, but you’ve never formally appointed a strategic CFO. How do you identify a qualified, trusted professional? How will your team set the future strategic CFO up for success?
SOLUTION: OUTSOURCE TO A PROFESSIONAL NONPROFIT CFO
Chazin’s nonprofit CFOs can seamlessly complement your accounting staff. Don’t have a financial team in place yet? We offer professional accounting services, too. Either way, your team can focus on its mission while we focus on your finances.
CHALLENGE: DISRUPTIONS HINDER FINANCIAL WORKFLOWS
Nonprofit finances ebb and flow, and they’re always at risk of disruption — good or bad.
SOLUTION: ACCESS A NONPROFIT CFO’S EXPERT FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
A professional nonprofit CFO knows how to navigate any interruption. Whether you’re downsizing due to a loss of funding, scaling up after coming into a windfall, altering your organization’s mission, or experiencing any other significant change, a trusted advisor will be an invaluable asset.
CHALLENGE: NICHE FINANCIAL SITUATIONS REQUIRE PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE
Even with a full-time strategic CFO in place, nonprofits often face unique situations that necessitate professional assistance.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

“We were at a point where a bookkeeper could no longer meet our accounting needs. We needed an accounting team with a CFO but weren’t at a point where we could afford to hire that team internally as staff members. Chazin stood out to us because they provide access to an entire team of experts at different levels, live data, and they specialize in nonprofit finance and accounting.” — Jodi Stumbo, President/CEO
“Meeting Chazin at a chamber meeting was a truly transformative experience for me. As the COO of the Barracks Legend Foundation, a nonprofit organization, I was constantly juggling various roles from operations to CFO, feeling overwhelmed by the responsibilities. Their team proved to be a true gem in my journey.” — Natalia Earle, COO

Nonprofit CFO services are your key to financial confidence, growth, and efficiency.
