Budgeting and Finance
Valerie works with emerging organizations to identify the necessary resources to effectively implement programs and services and project associated revenues and expenses and monthly cash flows. These data may be used to establish budgets for organizations, programs and projects, or to support funding proposals, applications for tax exemption status, or reports to funders, accountants and regulating authorities. Valerie’s work has included developing financial policies and procedures for board and staff members and installation of Quick Books systems. Valerie has developed a three-hour workshop on budgeting and finance, and occasionally teaches an online finance course for the University of Illinois Great Cities Institute.
