Consulting Services

This often leads to challenges where independent guidance is invaluable. We provide support across governance, management, and funding. Our services range from compliance and policy development to HR challenges, financial reviews, strategic planning, and grant application processes. We can offer independent assessments or help address crisis situations, such as rectifying issues post-accreditation or implementing funder requirements. Essentially, we assist with anything in the governance, operational management, and financial aspects of your organisation, providing crucial support when you need it most.

Strategic Planning
Feeling lost or stuck with your organisation’s direction? Many organisations, especially smaller ones, struggle with strategic planning, often without realising it can help address some of their biggest challenges. We help you create a clear roadmap so everyone is working towards the same goals. This means less confusion, increased confidence from funders, and more impact for your efforts. We can guide you, write your plan, or teach your team. You’ll gain clear purpose, better organisation, and reach your goals faster. Ready to unlock your potential? Let’s chat about a strategic planning process that truly works for your organisation.
Project Management
You’ve won the grant or tender but now you’re feeling swamped trying to manage all project paper work and compliance. We get it. Juggling budgets, suppliers, stakeholders, deadlines, and reporting can be tough for organisations of any size. We offer dedicated support to handle timelines, budget, compliance, milestones, reporting, stakeholder conversations, and acquittals to ensure your project runs on time, on budget, and complies with all funder requirements. This means less stress, more time for your core work, and successful projects that boost your reputation.
Conflict Resolution
Some conflicts within your organisation may seem irreparable. However, an experienced, independent partner who truly understands the not-for-profit sector,can be instrumental in achieving a positive resolution for everyone involved. Even robust community groups can encounter conflict, and that’s precisely where NFP Guide provides assistance. We operate as an independent, unbiased third party, focusing on processes rather than individuals to help your organisation realign with its core purpose and mission. You’ll gain enduring solutions and practical tools to address future challenges. Are you ready to cultivate a stronger, more harmonious organisation?
Crisis Management
Hit a rough patch? Every not-profit faces big challenges, such as finance issues, non-compliance, losing funding, risk of losing charitable status, or serious internal conflicts. That’s where NFP Guide steps in.
We bring an independent third party lens with extensive knowledge and experience. We listen, investigate, and create a custom plan to address your unique issues. Whether it’s protecting your registration, boosting finances, or rebuilding your board, our goal is to help your organisation back to health and productivity.
