Founder, Perry Hamilton Consulting
I know what it's like to be the person responsible for keeping everything running behind the scenes at a nonprofit - the budgets, the audits, the board meetings, the compliance deadlines, and everything in between.
For more than 20 years. I've managed multi-million-dollar budgets, led organizations through annual audits, launched new financial systems from the ground up, and supported boards and leadership teams at some of Chicago's most respected nonprofit institutions - including The Civic Federation, The Chicago Bar Foundation, and Children First Fund, the foundation for Chicago Public Schools.
My work with these organizations, and others, led me to found Perry Hamilton Consulting. I've seen first-hand that too many mission-driven organizations are held back not by a lack of passion, but by back-office systems that aren't working effectively.
My approach is practical, collaborative, and personal. I take the time to understand your organization, your challenges, and your goals - and then I get to work! Whether you need ongoing support or help with a specific challenge, I'm in your corner.
