What do you do as a consultant/coach?
i offer accounting oversight and guidance, finance infrastructure set up advice and recommendations, budgeting and participatory budgeting, finance coaching for leadership/staff, board members and teams, accounting personnel recruitment, and a variety of accounting related consulting.
What is your approach?
i offer a spectrum of services from hands on work to financial oversight and guidance. my approach is one of making sure that the language around finances is accessible to non-finance people. my goal is to break down jargon into easily digestible concepts to ensure leaders/board/staff can understand and make educated decisions about their organization’s finances. i like to give folks space to ask questions and process what they’ve learned to ensure that they leave my sessions feeling confident about next steps.
How has your experience/background contributed to your work?
i am a queer, Bangladeshi, Muslim immigrant and have been personally involved in queer Muslim organizing, and am passionate about social justice movements across the board. i believe that the world has been and continues to be destroyed by greed and patriarchy, and my life’s work is dedicated to empowering non-profit organizations that work with/in marginalized communities with the knowledge and tools they need to overcome obstacles related to finances.
Relevant certifications or trainings
i am a Certified Public Accountant licensed in the state of Maryland.
