Hillcrest Strategies is a management consulting firm that helps progressive organizations manage finances and operate smoothly to build a reflective democracy and an equitable future. We help groups cultivate clarity of their financial position and build strong operational systems to create space for leadership to focus on the big, strategic questions they face. We believe that with strong internal systems and transparent financial management, organizations gain stability, clarity, and structure, allowing them to take their work to scale and make a profound impact on the world.

I founded Hillcrest Strategies after working for over a decade at the intersection of nonprofit financial management, fundraising, and administration. As the years passed, I started to notice some patterns – many folks are uncomfortable talking about money and what it means to our movement, operations and administrative processes are murky, and organizations want their internal systems to align with their values but aren’t sure how to get there.

At Hillcrest Strategies, we’re helping progressive organizations create internal clarity and alignment so they can rise to these unprecedented challenges to American Democracy and build a future where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
