We're on a mission:
Empower high-impact projects to scale and flourish
About us
We know our operations
We’ve managed operations in-house for several nonprofits, and learned a few things along the way. We’ve got qualifications in accountancy, project management, data protection, and we’re a registered Accounting Service Provider (ASP).
Committed to impact
We deliver services in areas where we have deep experience, including finance, recruitment, and entity setup. We’re particularly excited about global health & development, animal welfare, protecting our climate, and safeguarding the future.
Guided by our values
Our mission is to empower high-impact projects to scale and flourish. Our work is guided by our core values, and we’ve taken the Founders Pledge to donate at least 50% of our proceeds to effective charities.
Excellence
- We dive deep into a project’s mission and strategy to understand how best to support it.
- We aim to optimize systems and eliminate bottlenecks before they cause headaches.
- We proactively seek and take action on feedback to deliver excellent customer service.
Focus
- We design systems to prevent recurring problems and to protect our attention and capacity.
- We prioritize ruthlessly, focusing on the highest expected value.
- We take on new projects deliberately, and we’re comfortable saying no.
Ambition
- We aim to support projects that use evidence and reason to change the world.
- We consider tradeoffs such as opportunity costs, benefits, and risks.
- We adapt our systems when the expected value is high.
Transparency
- We act with integrity and communicate directly.
- We’re honest about our areas of expertise and capacity.
- We look to save time and money across each project.
