Strategic Finance for Nonprofits & Small Businesses

Not your typical accountant.

Your finances shouldn't
feel this hard.
Let's fix that.

Senior financial strategy for charities, nonprofits and small businesses — without the full-time cost.

You didn't start your organisation to manage spreadsheets.

You started your charity, school, or business because you're passionate about what you do. But without a clear financial plan, even the best missions can stall, overspend, or miss opportunities.

Tax Overwhelm

"I pay too much tax but I don't know how to change it, or if I'm structured efficiently."

No Strategy

"I don't have a financial strategy — just a year-end panic when accounts are due."

Missing Expertise

"I need senior financial thinking, but I can't afford a full-time CFO or Finance Director."

Learn More About My Services

Hi, I'm Christiana.

But most people call me Oma.

I'm a Chartered Management Accountant with over 20 years of experience helping organisations across the UK, Canada and beyond get a firm grip on their finances.

I've worked with big corporates, government bodies, schools and charities — and what I've found, wherever I go, is that the people doing the most meaningful work are often the least supported when it comes to financial strategy. That's what I'm here to change.

Whether you're running a nonprofit on a shoestring, growing a small business you love, or trying to understand why your tax bill feels so punishing — I'm here to make the numbers make sense. Without the jargon. Without the overwhelm.

I used to dread our year-end. Now I have a financial plan I actually trust. The fractional CFO support has been invaluable during our growth phase.

Christiana helped me understand my tax position as a self-employed contractor in a way nobody had ever explained before. She's brilliant at making it all make sense.
