At DBD Group, we know that financial management is about more than numbers. It's about helping your organization be in the best position to have the greatest impact in your community.
When it comes to financial management practices, experience matters. Beyond understanding the principles of finance, you also need a partner that can help you communicate your vision through financial measures, support and nurture your team, and set your organization up for long-term success.
Our Financial Management team has the perspective and expertise to help your organization navigate challenges, maximize opportunities and create a sustainable future.
Taking control of your debt and retaining more cash to invest in your mission can be game changing. Refinancing your existing debt can enhance your sustainability or help you prepare for growth. Using our unique approach, DBD experts act as your third-party debt stewards. Throughout the process, we engage volunteers so they can own the results, and we help train a staff member to become an internal expert on managing debt going forward.

When your organization is undergoing or considering change, it's crucial to know the strength of your foundation. DBD's Financial Assessment provides an experienced and objective view of your organization's financial position. This allows for a quicker ramp up for an incoming CEO or greater confidence that your expansion plans are properly structured. Our observations and recommendations provide a road map to prioritize your next steps for a stable and sustainable future.
"When I first came in to my role, Brian was leading an assessment of our financial position. His deep experience and objective insight was exactly what I needed, as well as our board of directors. Through his strong, clear recommendations, we were able to prioritize our next steps and take action to improve our financial operations and reporting.
As interim CFO, Brian not only helped keep the day-to-day operations of the Finance Department moving smoothly, he improved our processes and our reporting. Our new CFO now has a very strong foundation. With his knowledge of operations and finance, he’s helped everyone succeed in their roles – our executive staff, the finance committee and me."
