Iuvo comes from Latin, meaning "to assist, support, and befriend" — a reflection of my mission: Empowering for-purpose organisations to thrive through expert financial leadership, strategic advice, and governance support.
As a Chartered Accountant specialising in the for-purpose (not-for-profit) sector, I combine commercial expertise with a deep understanding of community development. Alongside my finance qualifications, I hold a Master’s Degree in Sociology — a rare mix that strengthens both strategic thinking and practical delivery:
Financial Leadership & Support
- Year-end financial statements and reporting
- Monthly management reporting and variance analysis
- Virtual CFO services
- Forecasting and budgeting
- Systems and process optimisation
Strategic & Project Advisory
- Project management
- Funding and grants management
- RFP submissions
- Complex problem-solving and solution design
Governance Support
- Board advisory and reporting
- Governance frameworks and best practice
- Strategic development
- Real-world experience reporting to and serving on Boards
Whether you need interim financial leadership, project support, or governance advice, I bring a practical, solutions-focused approach. I work flexibly — on a project, interim, or ongoing basis — so you can focus on what matters most: creating lasting impact.
