🏢 About 100 Degrees Consulting

100 Degrees Consulting uniquely focuses exclusively on nonprofit financial transformation, helping organizations maximize their impact through better financial management. Unlike traditional accounting firms, they specialize in translating complex financial data into actionable insights specifically for nonprofit leaders, making them a mission-driven partner rather than just a service provider.

About This Role

As the Nonprofit Finance Manager, you'll serve as the dedicated finance lead for 10+ nonprofit clients, preparing GAAP-compliant financial statements and translating data into clear analysis for nonprofit executives. This role directly enables nonprofits to better utilize limited resources and make more powerful community impacts through expert financial guidance and compliance management.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing financial statements for multiple nonprofit clients, preparing clear analysis reports for their leadership teams, and conducting virtual meetings to discuss budgeting or compliance issues. You'll balance ongoing monthly reporting with longer-term projects like annual budget development or audit preparation, all while maintaining trusted relationships with 10+ nonprofit organizations.
