Repositioning

Overview

For any entity that wants to merge, dissolve, convert from a for-profit business to a nonprofit organization, change its tax status, establish a sister entity or subsidiary, simplify its legal structure, affiliate with another organization, transfer substantial amounts of its property to another entity, or consider any other fundamental change, we help evaluate the options and develop implementation strategies to conserve resources.

Process

We are change agents.  We find efficiencies and help apply strategies that help nonprofit organizations save time, money and make change less stressful.  We meet with leadership, identify needs, work to develop the tools needed to make decisions, and provide a clear roadmap of how to implement the plan.  We consider the details and assist with the implementation process to make transitions as fluid as possible.
