We will become your strategic partner, helping you develop a unique strategy for success. The SGS team has extensive experience developing business and program plans that serve as a communication tool to attract investment capital, grant funding, loans, and strategic partners as well as convince talent to join the organization.

As nonprofit Standards for Excellence Institute consultants licensed by both Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations and nationally, we offer expert guidance on governance best practices.

You aren't sure how SGS is different than any other consulting group
If you succeed, we succeed. We aren’t going to just hand you a piece of paper and walk away. We are your partner, and we pride ourselves on providing an unconditional satisfaction guarantee. As former CEOs, CFOs, Board Members, and Directors, we’ve sat in your seats and understand how frustrating it is to have paid for strategic advice and then not know how, or have the time, to successfully implement that advice. We build implementation support into everything we do with the goal of providing you with more value than you’ve paid for. That’s why most of our customers return to us for all their management consulting needs.
You don’t have time to manage all of the required operational tasks and need to find ways to streamline your processes
You are overwhelmed with paperwork and operational tasks and don’t have the time to focus on strategies that will deepen mission impact. We specialize in optimizing operational processes. Through a comprehensive written analysis of your operational procedures of everything from financial to data collection and reporting, our team will identify areas which can be streamlined or automated to create additional capacity and work with you to implement tangible strategies to enhance efficiency. Our hands-on approach ensures your organization will operate at maximum effectiveness.
As your organization grows, your finance team lacks the capacity to manage the increased budgeting, management, and reporting requirements
You have received a few new grants and are excited to execute the programming, but your finance team is struggling to present your financial information in a way that allows you to understand where you are and how to make strategic decisions. We specialize in developing comprehensive financial plans and budgets aligned with your strategic goals that help to identify fundraising objectives and effectively manage multiple grants and restricted funds. Our team will evaluate and optimize your financial systems, processes, and controls to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and transparency by recommending software solutions, automating manual process, and standardizing financial procedures that reduce the administrative burden. If needed, we can provide your team with expert CFO-level oversight to inform decision-making, mitigate risk, and drive financial sustainability.
