How I Help

In the ever-changing not-for-profit landscape, you need an experienced partner to guide and support you. Since founding Lumbard Consulting, LLC in 2018-after decades of auditing not-for-profits and local governments with financial and compliance auditing services-I have helped organizations like yours through complex financial situations, trained numerous boards, and empowered leaders with the knowledge and confidence to adapt, grow, and thrive.

Guiding Leaders Through the Prickly Terrain of Not-For-Profit Challenges

Being a not-for-profit CEO is rewarding, and it often comes with thorny challenges. Strained board relationships, governance confusion, and leadership stress can derail your impact, but you don’t have to navigate these alone.
