    Description

    Pacific Community Ventures (PCV) is looking for experienced finance professionals who want to volunteer their time and support a small business owner through focused, one-on-one advising. If you have several years of experience in areas such as financial planning, cash flow management, budgeting, forecasting, accounting, or capital readiness, and feel confident helping entrepreneurs think through financial decisions and next steps, this role is a strong fit.

    You will be matched with an entrepreneur whose financial needs align with your background and will meet virtually on a schedule that works for both of you. If you want to share your expertise and make a direct impact by helping small businesses strengthen their financial foundations, becoming a PCV Volunteer Finance Advisor is a meaningful place to start.

    Role Overview

    This role is for professionals who want to use their experience to support a small business owner through focused, one-on-one advising.

    • Volunteer commitment averages three to five hours per month.
    • All meetings are virtual and scheduled directly between you and the business owner.
    • PCV handles matching, onboarding materials, and ongoing program support.
    • Each advising engagement typically lasts a few months, with the option to continue or be re-matched.
    • Your time is spent meeting with the entrepreneur, preparing for conversations, and following up on agreed-upon next steps.

    Why Advise with PCV?

    PCV is a national nonprofit that has supported small businesses for more than twenty years through advising, capital, and community partnerships. The advising program is structured so you can be effective without taking on administrative work: PCV handles matching, provides orientation and resources, and stays available for support throughout the engagement. Advisors also gain access to learning opportunities and a broader community of professionals who care about strengthening small businesses. Working with PCV means your time directly supports entrepreneurs who often have limited access to experienced guidance and are building stability for themselves and their communities.
