Our Approach

Financial & strategic support to help you grow. Based on our proven, 3-phase CFO Partnership Process. The exact process we choose to take together will vary based on your particular financial and business goals.

Assessment and Alignment

We listen, learn, and build trust.

In this initial phase, we evaluate and update your existing financial systems, reporting practices, and organizational needs. We review your chart of accounts, assess internal controls, and identify needs in automation, reporting, forecasting, and compliance. Together, we clarify goals and priorities to ensure our partnership begins with shared understanding and aligned expectations.

This phase typically takes 3 months.
This phase may include:

At the start of every engagement, we conduct a deep dive of the organization – including, but not limited to financial information and processes – to get a 360 degree view of the operations

Once Panoramic Strategy has a better understanding of the organization, we work quickly to evolve the foundation of the organization’s financial information. Updates to the chart of accounts, departments, projects, restrictions, grant tracking, and more all help to ensure financial information is recorded in a format that can easily be analyzed.

Active day-to-day management requires implementation of best practices and technology on accounts payable and invoices, receivables, transaction processing, and automation, all to improve accuracy while minimizing the internal time required to complete ongoing bookkeeping needs.

Key policies and procedures are essential to the ongoing operations of any organization. Panoramic ensures that policies ranging from internal controls to cash disbursement and expenditures, investment policies, reserves, and operations are all covered in a way that adapts to your team size.

Financial Reporting and Analysis

Reliable, timely information that drive ‘aha moments’

We believe that financial statements tell a story. They reflect whether your organization is living its values and driving what’s most important, while managing with the available resources.

This phase typically takes 3 months.
This phase may include:

Each month, all journal entries will be made in accordance with GAAP, adapted to the updated chart of accounts and accounting structure developed in the first phase of work together. It’s reassuring and credible for leadership to have financial statements available, with everything organized where you expect to see it, provided on time for when you need it.

The Panoramic Strategy team will prepare robust, customized financial statement packages by the 15th of the month (pending internal process timelines) for review with leadership. Narratives highlight the most important storylines impacting the financial results based on our analysis, while tables and visualization provide a clear understanding where financial strength and challenges reside, in dynamic views that help leadership to quickly and effectively digest the financial results.

As the liaison for compliance, Panoramic Strategy will become the primary contact for audit processes, preparing work papers, answering questions, and reviewing financial information for various types of audits (including Federal, State, and Single Audits).

Balancing the conditions and restrictions of funding sources with the organization’s needs is a delicate balance. Panoramic Strategy knows how to maximize the utilization of grants while maintaining the highest level of integrity and credibility.  

As an integrated part of the team, Panoramic Strategy will support and attend Board and committee meetings, learning and growing together as a team.

Forecasting and Modeling

Building clarity for the path forward

Finance becomes an integral part of the important, often difficult strategy choices that organizations need to make on an ongoing basis. Budgets, forecasts, and models become the tools that give Executive leaders and Boards tools to plan confidently for a future that aligns sustainability and impact.

This phase typically takes 3 months.
This phase may include:

They are tools for clarity, accountability, and long-term impact. When designed well, budgets reflect your financial reality and connect directly to your program and impact goals drive progress and clarity. By engaging stakeholders across the organization and providing easy-to-use templates, everyone understands, owns, and trusts their numbers.

Forecasting enables you tou look ahead with confidence, highlighting key areas that truly drive results and move the needle. Whether short-term or multiyear, a forward-looking tool helps teams prioritize, stay focused, and tune out the noise. With the right structure and support, forecasting helps you stay grounded in the present while planning effectively for what’s next.

Intentional, informed financial choices are what position an organization for growth and impact. We partner with teams to uncover and evaluate new revenue opportunities, leverage existing assets, create social enterprises, and build financial models that connect resources directly to results. With limited resources, efficient, smart decisions matter—and we ensure you’re investing in what matters most.

Pivotal moments often require an extra set of hands, and a strategic mind, when you need it most. Whether it’s a major funding opportunity, a leadership transition, or a complex financial decision, we bring structure and momentum to help you move quickly, make confident choices, and stay focused on what matters most.

David is not only our CFO but a true thought partner for Besa.

He’s helped us meet (and surpass) our $1 million capital campaign goal, double our team size, manage our audits and reviews, and even get our PPP loan through twice.  Having David on our side has allowed us to go further faster, be more intentional, and show up for our team…ultimately allowing us to scale farther than ever before.

Matthew Goldstein

CEO, Besa

What David created for us is not just a strategic plan that sits on a shelf and is taken out once a year.

It’s a living document that has been guiding us daily since its creation through the Federation’s most important priorities and strategies. And with David’s additional guidance and expertise, we’ve also been able to launch major initiatives in all areas prioritized in our plan – including with our marketing, brand, and community engagement. Because of this, our fundraising has also grown significantly over the last year.

David Waren

CEO, The Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford

Nothing like what we were considering – an integration between the Federation and the Foundation – had been done before.

 So needless to say, we had quite the challenge ahead of us. Despite the challenge, it’s now been 3 years and 1 successful integration later…and without David’s help, I’m confident that the process to get here would not have been as quick, efficient, smooth..nor as fun! He truly has all the skills that are needed to make a challenging process like this happen.
