"Revenue's been flat for two years, leadership keeps turning over, and everyone is working harder for less result."
Almost nobody calls us early. By the time a leader picks up the phone, they have usually been carrying this alone for eighteen months and quietly wondering whether it is them.
We stabilize first, then find what's actually causing the decline. Most turnarounds fail because they treat symptoms — cutting budget, replacing staff — while the structural cause keeps producing them.
Two weeks. Cash position, real donor retention, actual capacity, and where the money and the hours are going. No recommendations yet.
The three things that must stop immediately, and the two that must start. Sequenced so the organization can survive doing them.
Structure, roles, and rhythm rebuilt so the recovery holds after we leave.
Twelve months on, the numbers move in the right direction, the leadership team is smaller and clearer, and you stop waking at three in the morning doing arithmetic.
Six minutes, free, and you keep the results either way.
