the virtual chief executive officer

helping volunteer boards succeed

why a virtual CEO?
two thirds of Australia’s 50,000 charities raise almost $13 billion to deliver a social good with no full-time staff. so the step of employing a permanent virtual CEO and/or CFO is a big leap for hard-working volunteer directors.

a virtual CEO and/or CFO is a viable alternative. and a real game-changer to scale your impact.

what is a virtual CEO?
a virtual CEO operates remotely, on a part-time flexible contract, using technology to support the board, without the costly overheads of a rented office and permanent staff. it gives the Board access to the skills and knowledge required to run and grow a charity effectively.

it could be a long-term arrangement, or a bridge to establishing a traditional office, systems infrastructure and permanent CEO and staff as the charity grows.

what is a virtual CFO?

our experienced virtual CFO services for charities include financial problem-solving, compliance, budgeting, financial planning, accounting policies and processes, controls and risk management. we are here to support charity boards manage money strategically.

what does a Virtual CEO do?
a virtual CEO is a powerful ally for small volunteer-driven charities. by bringing professional leadership, expertise, and operational efficiency to the organisation, a virtual CEO helps nonprofits thrive and scale their impact. Some typical tasks include:

• strategic planning: work with the volunteer directors to set clear strategic goals and create a roadmap, financing plan and budget for the charity to achieve its mission
• financing plan: assist the Board to secure more funding to achieve your short and long-term goals through grants, partnerships, donor relationships and other sources of funds
• operational management: implement the strategic plan by organising and managing day-to-day operations, ensuring that the organisation achieves its goals
• board meetings: plan and prepare papers for regular virtual or f2f Board meetings to ensure alignment and open communication, and
• monitoring and accountability: regular reports to the Board summarising your impact and financial results; ensuring transparency and accountability.
