Nonprofit FP&A Dashboard
CompletedTransforming nonprofit financial data into budget, cash-flow, fund, and management insights.
Project overview
A completed management reporting work sample connects a fictional financial dataset to budget, forecast, cash, and fund analysis. Explore the interactive dashboard and download the supporting Excel workbook and PDF case study.
Business question
Where is performance diverging from plan, and how much cash is available for future operations?
Assumptions / data
A fictional 12-month cash-basis teaching dataset. All revenue is collected and all expenses paid in-period; restricted and unrestricted fund balances equal cash in this simplified case. This is independent portfolio work, not an official employer project.
Inputs are labeled user assumptions or synthetic data. Calculated values and model outputs derive deterministically from those inputs. Public data must have a source before it is used.
