>>TestimonialsHere is what some of our clients have said about FMA:"It was a pleasure working with FMA. Their expertise provided us with tools, knowledge and guidance that made us more cohesive, provided greater focus and sharpened our management team expertise."
Lawrence Carter
Controller Iris House "FMA has taken our complex funding model and turned it into a user-friendly reference document that our grant recipients can understand and use on an ongoing basis."
Chris Whipple
(former) Director of Operations The After-School Corporation "FMA's efforts to keep in mind the 'people' side of the project, not just the technical aspect, are truly appreciated. I came into my position with no working knowledge of taxes or the fiscal needs of an organization other than rudimentary bookkeeping, and FMA's patience and kindness went above and beyond any of our expectations. With FMA's help, I am now more knowledgeable and organized and ready to file FLI's next set of tax returns."
Gina Esposito
Director of Development Future Leaders Institute of New York City "In our FUND E-Z training sessions, Hilda quickly assessed the capabilities of our small accounting staff and communicated at each of those levels. She enhanced their fiscal knowledge and improved their use of the accounting system as a more efficient management tool. "Each time I attend one of Hilda's workshops I learn new, hands-on concepts that I find myself using at the office on a daily basis."
Bill Thompson
Director of Finance AIDS-Related Community Services (ARCS) "Many financial consultants deliver services and they do it well. However, what most fail to realize is that the financial component of any client's administration goes hand-in-hand with how well the client can deliver its own services. Without good financial management, Iris House wouldn't be able to raise money, continue our programs, and serve our community. "With the resources of FMA, we have ongoing access to an efficient and well-rounded consulting firm that works as a team with us to build what we need. At critical times in our growth and development, we can depend on them for timely, efficient information and follow-up."
Marie St. Cyr
(former) Executive Director Iris House "We now have a blueprint specifically designed for our organization that assists senior management in operating more efficiently and in optimizing our limited existing resources. This strategic plan enables our organization to work toward common goals and ensures that our infrastructure can support the expansion of Common Ground."
