A grant that doesn't come through. A board that starts asking questions you can't confidently answer. In those moments, the difference between delegating financial work and owning financial outcomes becomes very clear.Think Like a CFO: Finance, Risk, and Strategy for Nonprofit CEOs is the practical, experience-driven guide for nonprofit leaders who want to lead their organization's finances - not just manage them from a distance.Drawing on decades of experience as a nonprofit CEO, CFO, board member, and financial advisor, Michael Ward covers the full landscape of what financial leadership actually requires: The CFO mindset - how to think about financial decisions before they're made, not after the factFinancial statements - how to read them as leadership tools and use them to spot problems earlyBudgeting - how to build a rigorous annual budget and use it to guide performance throughout the yearStrategic financial analysis - how to look behind the top-line numbers to drive stronger resultsRevenue models - how to evaluate strategies across the nonprofit sector and borrow lessons from organizations unlike your ownRisk management - how to identify, assess, and manage the financial risks your organization faces before they become crisesInternal controls - why they matter to you as CEO and how to ensure the right safeguards are in placeTax compliance - what the IRS requires of nonprofit organizations and how to stay ahead of itLong-term commitments - how to evaluate facilities, technology, and multi-year financial decisionsOutsourcing - how to decide what to staff internally, what to contract out, and how to manage bothTelling your story - how to communicate financial results in ways that build trust with your board, funders, and communityWard draws on his experience leading a national nonprofit as both CEO and CFO, advising dozens of organizations as a consultant, and serving on seven nonprofit boards.
