As CEO of a local charity, I was seeking an experienced professional to undertake a financial due diligence exercise and Toni was recommended to me by a member of the steering group I had created to manage the wider project.
Toni quickly understood the brief and demonstrated that she had the experience and knowledge of the charity sector to provide a constructive, external perspective. She communicated clearly throughout the process, asked appropriately challenging questions and kept to the agreed budget.
The outcome of this work was a comprehensive, but not overwhelming report that dealt with the key issues and provided a few additional points of guidance for the Trustees to consider at future meetings. On reading the report one of the Trustees said to Toni “you were just the best pair of hands to take on this work, thank you so much”.
Toni was a real pleasure to work with and so I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to charities looking for an independent viewpoint or help managing their financial governance.
