an experienced advisor on your side
a management consultant brings an external viewpoint that can be invaluable for charity and nonprofit leaders who may be deeply immersed in day-to-day operations. this fresh perspective can lead to innovative solutions and identify blind spots that may otherwise be overlooked.
our core consulting services are listed below, however the approach is always tailored to your specific needs. this ensures the solutions are relevant, realistic, and successful. it is a strategic investment to enhance your organisation’s overall effectiveness and impact:
- strategic planning: we help you clarify your mission, goals and objectives for social and environmental impact. and then align your programs, people, systems and money to deliver your strategy over the next three to five years.
- program impact: we help optimise your resources by fully understanding program impact, costs and viability. this work will identify inefficiencies and improvements (i.e. savings, enhanced productivity, growth strategies, systems)
- financing programs: we help charities grow and diversify their funding sources, enhance donor relationships, and develop sustainable financial models.
- change management: guidance to help leaders navigate challenges, mitigate resistance, and facilitate a smooth transition.
- capacity building: we can help you develop your people and build a culture of leadership across the organisation
- strategy assurance: we help charities understand their ‘theory of change’ and define key performance indicators (KPIs). measuring and evaluating impact allows you to track progress and adapt programs for maximum impact.
- risk management: we help to proactively identify and mitigate risks to minimise potential negative outcomes.
- board evaluation: this is a useful tool to build a supportive and effective board which understands its role, leverages their networks and attracts more money
helping charity and nonprofit leaders make a difference
your management consultant for charities and nonprofit organisations
welcome, I’m so glad you’re here! thank you for helping your charity or nonprofit make the world a better place.
many civil society leaders have the skills, expertise and passion for social change, but face barriers they can’t climb. creating change is hard going without an effective board, clear strategy, financing plan and the ability to manage risk.
but there is a better way.
better charity is a management consultancy for charities and not-for-profit organisations. we work one-on-one, as a coach or facilitator, with social change leaders like you and help you manage scarce resources and make a bigger impact.
you can do more by aligning and managing strategy, risk and money. we assess your financial model, governance, strategy, theory of change and business plan and help you create a roadmap for sustainable success.
I do this work because I’m absolutely passionate about the nonprofit sector and its ability to deliver outcomes which benefit the community. our partnership will bolster your balance sheet and social impact at a cost that is significantly lower than big management consulting groups.
if you’d like to schedule a free consultation and learn more about how I can help your organisation navigate change, get in touch here. you can check out my bio and experience as a leader in the charity or nonprofit, public and private sectors. i’m supported by a network of trusted colleagues with specialist skills in charity and not-for-profit management.

working with paul has been a game-changer for The Enterprize; an authentic wooden tall ship based in Victoria. he brought years of charity sector experience and practical expertise to help us update our strategy, manage costs and fundraise successfully.
from the outset, paul took the time to understand our challenges and strategic needs and clarify why The Enterprize deserves philanthropic support. in addition, his financial management skills ensured our programs are impactful and sustainable.
importantly, paul helped us raise urgent funds for critical maintenance and create a plan to grow and diversify our income. his professionalism, dedication, and passion for our cause were evident in every interaction. i commend paul to any charity seeking to enhance its impact and attract more money for its mission.
