Today on the Stride 2 Freedom podcast, we chatted with James VanReusel, an entrepreneur, practitioner, and CFO advisor servicing a range of sectors with VanReusel Ventures. But today, we’re sharing his insights into a very specific niche: nonprofits. It isn’t a surprise that nonprofits are one of many struggling sectors in the 2020 landscape, so I wanted to bring James onto the show to talk about how an outsourced CFO can be a guide in helping nonprofits navigate this year’s uncertain waters.
James shares his thoughts on following your passion to make a positive difference in the lives of the people he serves. Specifically, James’ work with nonprofits is focused on those that have an international presence in countries like Africa, India, and Nepal. James has a long history of working in microfinance in developing markets and non-profits with global operations have some very unique challenges and needs.
While the nonprofit sector saw a slow down in March and began cutting costs, many organizations are beginning to see an upswing in movement once again. And now, the plan is to focus on 2021… how are donors and foundations going to act in the coming year? What should the nonprofit expense rate look like to prepare for next year? What does the growth trend look like? These are all important questions business owners, whether nonprofit or not, should be considering, and we chat about them in this Stride 2 Freedom episode. Enjoy!
