Expertise to drive your mission forward.
My name is Douglas Reil and I help organizations identify and overcome obstacles to growing their activities and achieving their mission. With over 30 years of management experience in for-profit, nonprofit, and start-up companies, I offer personalized, accessible consulting, fractional management, and organizational development support for nonprofits and for-purpose companies.
Services

Working with leaders, boards, and teams, I support the clarity of mission and strategy, informed by holistic understanding of the organization’s operational, financial, and programs activity.
By aligning available resources with the optimal strategic path, organizations can grow their impact while maintaining sustainable operations that don’t burn out the team.

Employing a more immersive approach aligned with an organization’s needs and goals, I offer management and oversight services to establish best practices, manage and problem-solve critical challenges, and create structures that help bridge to a sustainable future.
Areas of specific management expertise include organizational structure, operational processes, team management, and finance management with an emphasis on cashflow and business alignment.

With financial reporting often failing to inform operational and strategic decision-making in effective and efficient ways, my approach involves assessing the organization and building custom reporting to provides a clear and intuitive overview that supports informed planning and ongoing sustainable operations.
If your organization needs to understand where the cash is going and how much runway is available, these approaches will provide the answers.

Informed by my experience leading diverse organizations, from a nonprofit 501c3 to a SaaS start-up with a successful product launch, I offer thought-partnership and a fresh perspective to support nonprofit and for-purpose leaders so they can focus on what matters most and to avoid burnout by finding organizational and mission clarity.

With a thirty-five year career in trade publishing in publishing, distribution, and as an independent rep and consultant, I know the business of publishing.
Whether you’re with a publisher seeking to grow your list and business or an author exploring the variety of pathways available in the current market, I can tailor services to align with your needs.

My years of work experience is grounded in activism and advocacy which allows me to understand the motivations of mission-driven leaders and how best to partner on effective strategic shifts.
Strategize Effectively
Planning and visioning are important but they must result in effective plans and action. The process of organizational development needs to be thorough but efficient, to establish clear next steps for your team to take forward.
Gain Efficiencies, Save Money
Stewarding public funds is a core responsibility of a nonprofit leader as they try to scale their impact. With proper assessment of your organization’s processes and goals, priorities can be determined to realize efficiencies and the optimal use of funds.
Manage Cashflow, with Focus
Without a profit as a driver, nonprofits and similar organizations often struggle with cashflow, hitting tight spots that disrupt programs. With accessible custom reporting, not available in standard financials, you can plan your future programs with confidence.
