Nonprofit Finance Consultant

20 Degrees

Summer 2026

20 Degrees is seeking financial experts to support mission driven organizations grow their revenue, sustainability, and mission. 20 Degrees is a consulting firm that supports nonprofits, social enterprises, and mission-driven organizations through financial tools that actually work. Our Social Finance team specializes in earned revenue, scenario planning, and financial modeling—equipping leaders with the clarity and tools they need to make sound decisions, even in uncertain conditions.

Our financial modeling and planning work is expanding into increasingly complex territory: CDFIs with layered loan portfolios, housing developers navigating NMTC and LIHTC structures, foundations exploring alternative uses of capital. We're looking for a senior financial modeling contractor with the depth to engage on complex engagements while designing elegantly simple solutions.

Who You Are

You are a senior financial professional with deep expertise in complex nonprofit and social sector finance. You have built models from the ground up across a range of organizational types and financing structures, and you bring the rigor and independence to deliver high-quality work with minimal oversight. A CPA or comparable credential signals the level of technical foundation we're looking for.

You are drawn to mission-driven work because the financial questions are genuinely interesting—layered, multi-polar, and consequential. You communicate clearly about what your models show, what assumptions they rest on, and where the real uncertainty lives.

The Work

Financial Model Design & Delivery

• Provide financial modeling services, including the development and adaptation of complex financial models in Microsoft Excel across nonprofit and social enterprise contexts, including organizations with earned revenue lines, housing finance structures (NMTC, LIHTC), CDFI loan portfolios, and philanthropic capital strategies.
• Translate client financial questions into clear projections, scenario analyses, and decision-support tools that nonprofit leaders can understand and act on.
• Utilize, modify, or develop financial modeling tools and templates, including 20 Degrees-provided templates where appropriate, to produce agreed-upon client deliverables.
• Deliver clean, well-documented models that can be handed off, explained, and used beyond the engagement.

Collaboration & Coordination

• Collaborate with designated 20 Degrees project leads to understand client goals, engagement context, and deliverable expectations.
• Bring an independent point of view, strong judgment, and a bias toward solving problems rather than waiting for instructions.
• Participate in periodic project check-ins to exchange information, pressure-test assumptions, and ensure deliverables are aligned with client needs.
• Manage the day-to-day execution of assigned work independently, including determining the methods, tools, and approach used to produce high-quality outcomes.
• Be the kind of collaborator who makes a project better simply by being in it—equally comfortable working alongside others or disappearing into a spreadsheet cave and emerging with answers.

What Work Looks Like

This engagement is expected to require approximately 10 hours per week initially, with anticipated demand increasing to approximately 20 hours per week beginning in September and continuing through year-end. Project assignments will be defined through mutually agreed-upon scopes of work, deliverables, and timelines.

The Contractor will independently determine the methods, schedule, and approach used to complete the work, while maintaining reasonable availability for coordination with 20 Degrees and clients during Eastern Time Zone business hours. The Contractor is expected to communicate proactively regarding project progress, material risks, and significant changes that may affect timelines or deliverables.

Foundational Qualifications That Make You a Star

• Deep financial modeling expertise across nonprofit and social enterprise contexts
• Demonstrated fluency in complex financing structures including NMTC, LIHTC, CDFI loan portfolios, or alternative philanthropic capital deployment
• CPA or comparable credential strongly preferred
• Ability to scope, execute, and deliver high-quality work independently
• Strong documentation skills—your models are readable and usable without a translator
• Remote-first work experience; Eastern Time Zone availability for meetings, client interactions, or coordination

Additional Qualifications That Make You Stand Out

• Experience supporting nonprofits through capital campaigns, financing transactions, or organizational restructuring
• Background in investment analysis, community development finance, or foundation strategy
• Familiarity with earned revenue and scenario planning in the nonprofit sector
• Experience as a senior leader at a nonprofit with complex financial systems

What We Bring to the Table

This is an independent contractor engagement with an anticipated hourly rate of $60–$80 per hour, depending on experience and expertise. Contractors have the opportunity to contribute to some of the most substantive financial strategy work in the nonprofit sector, supporting organizations tackling complex challenges in their communities. Engagements may include exposure to sophisticated financial structures, mission-driven growth strategies, and high-impact client work.

At 20 Degrees, we believe better solutions emerge when people with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives come together around a shared purpose. We are committed to creating an environment where all contributors feel welcomed, respected, and able to do their best work.
