Strategic Partner – Finance
Sean has been serving nonprofit organizations professionally since 1999. During his 20-year tenure as a nonprofit employee, he made strategic improvements that reduced waste, generated new revenue, boosted staff productivity and morale, grew financial transparency, and shrank risk. Drawing on his expertise, Sean has also helped both boards and staff leaders to navigate complex situations confidently. Sean consistently leaves the organizations he works with stronger and ready for their next stage of growth. In 2020, he founded Nonprofit CFOs, which rapidly grew to a 12-person team focused on helping small and mid-sized nonprofits ensure they have the strong, effective financial management they need to steward their resources and achieve their missions. Services include interim placements, fractional CFO, special projects, trainings, and presentations. For organizations receiving federal grants, they can also help with the Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA).
Sean has served on a variety of boards during his career, and currently volunteers as an officer for two: Austin Nonprofit Financial Leadership Group and the League for Nonprofit Human Capital. He holds a Master’s degree and Certificate in Nonprofit Management from the University of Texas at Austin.
