Financial Clarity in Uncertain Times

October 29, 2025 by Jordan Jerkovich

In September, Spokes hosted its first Operations Officer Roundtable, spotlighting Financial Clarity in Uncertain Times. Attendees heard from Erin Hoffman of Collaboration Business Consulting, who shared practical tips for staying resilient—like diversifying income, tracking key numbers, and keeping your team and board aligned.

Access her handout here, and watch for details on our next Operations Officer Roundtable, happening January 2026.

Member Testimonial

In a few moments, FDO can provide more funder and grantor information that any person could assemble in a whole work week. The depth and breadth of information provided in FDO is simply not available through any other resources. I appreciate being able to access it as a Spokes member.
