"Six months of strategic networking later, I had my former employer as my first client and replaced my salary immediately."
— Sarah Stuewe, Social Finance & Fundraising Consultant -
"I was so burned out I couldn't imagine starting anything new. I gave myself the recovery time first. Now I'm fully booked, doing work I love, and Mondays don't wreck me anymore."
— Marta Keller-Hernandez, Fractional Operations Consultant

"Within weeks of leaving my job, I had two clients signed and referrals flooding in. When you finally jump, the abundance is real."

// Why the math feels impossible to leave - and how the 3-6-12 model actually changes the equation
// The 5 reasons nonprofit professionals stay stuck
// Whether fractional consulting is a fit for where you are right now.

SPACE IS LIMITED
From in-house, to consulting…
Hey - I’m your host, Cindy. I’m a former in-house nonprofit leader turned fundraising consultant turned business coach who's done with the nonprofit sector's toxic relationship with money and success.
After almost 15 years in-house, I built a $650K/year consulting agency and personally closed over $1M in fractional contracts before walking away to teach others how to do it. Now, as founder of the Nonprofit Fractionals Network, I've coached 100+ consultants to build six-figure businesses that leave room for both purpose and profit.
I've spent over two decades in the sector, I have an MBA in strategy, and I've sat through enough board meetings that should have been an email to last me a lifetime.
You've been thinking about this for a while.
