Consultancy
How can I help?
I support charities, INGOs and social enterprises with both strategic guidance and hands-on financial support — depending on what’s needed.
Whether you’re preparing for audit, juggling multiple donor reports, or just need to clean up your books and get back on track, I bring a practical, no-fuss approach. I’m equally comfortable designing systems and policies as I am rolling up my sleeves to handle reconciliations, reporting, or budget reviews.

How It Works?
My strength lies in turning complexity into something manageable. Whether it’s building systems and processes from scratch or supporting existing teams under pressure, I bring both a strategic lens and practical, hands-on support. My aim is always to make finance feel less overwhelming, and to help organisations build financial clarity and control – so they feel confident in their decision-making and can plan for long-term sustainability.
I work with purpose-driven organisations of all shapes and sizes – whether fully charitable, hybrid, or trading for impact.
- UK-based charities
- International NGOs (INGOs) with field-based finance needs
- Grant-funded organisations needing clearer financial oversight
- Social enterprises balancing trading and donor income
- Small teams that need finance expertise without full-time overheads

Aishat brought integrity, intelligence and experience to her work. She vastly improved the financial management and controls of the organisation. The systems and templates she developed and her attention to detail facilitated production of accurate and timely management reports, donor reports and statutory annual reports. Aishat produced quarterly forecasts and narrative reports, and introduced mid-year budget reviews and budgets. The reports produced by Aishat ensured clarity of the organisation’s financial position which supported strategic decision making. Aishat led the organisation through consistently clean annual audits. It was a pleasure working with Aishat and I have no hesitation in recommending her to any Charity or business seeking to engage the services of an experienced and diligent financial management expert.
