ABOUT KAREN THOMPSON
I am a not for profit and charity specialist who is absolutely passionate about unlocking the potential of charity finance and charity finance people to make a real difference. I have worked in this sector for over 19 years, both as a finance director and chief operating officer, and as a partner in some of the leading charity-specialist accounting and advisory teams. Through my company, NFP Finance Solutions, I\'m now delivering interim and part time FD services, providing tailored consulting services, and working as a trainer, speaker and professional coach. I’ve been lucky enough to work with a huge range of organisations, from household name charities to small local organisations, membership bodies, educational charities, grant giving foundations, international development charities and social enterprises. This has given me a unique insight into the issues not for profit boards and senior managers face today as well as hands on experience of delivering on strategy, transforming finance teams and creating change. My approach to working with each of my clients is to spend time up front really getting to know you – your strategic goals, your challenges and opportunities, your culture and team relationships – and then agree a clear plan of how I can work with you to help you deliver on your vision and mission. One size does not fit all, particularly in the not for profit sector, and really getting to the heart of the matter up front in any engagement is key to success. My approach is strategic and I am adept at seeing the big picture, asking good questions, identifying the underlying problem and setting and implementing achievable plans for change. My leadership style is approachable, action oriented and focused on bringing out the best in everyone in the team and this focus also carries over into my coaching work. Overall my aim is bring my experience and skills together for your benefit, to diagnose problems, find solutions and help your organisation move forward and achieve its vision and mission. ℹ Find out more at How can I help you?
