Tamera Jacobs Email & Phone Number

With a proven track record in financial management and process optimization within the non-profit sector, I specialize in transforming fiscal operations to drive growth, transparency, and compliance. My expertise spans strategic planning, risk management, and stakeholder engagement, underpinned by a deep commitment to ensuring the financial integrity and sustainability of mission-driven organizations.At the Rockaway Youth Task Force, I orchestrated a financial turnaround by converting years of negative net revenue into positive net assets and over a million in gross revenue. This was achieved through strategic reallocation of grant expenditures, diversifying revenue streams with earned income initiatives, and cutting monthly expenses.At the Movement for Black Lives, I championed process innovation, reducing invoice and grantmaking times by approximately 94% and 66%, respectively. By introducing automated systems, I ensured accurate, secure, and streamlined data collection, translating into significant FTE and cost savings.At the same organization, I played a pivotal role in fortifying our risk and compliance management. By upholding IRS and GAAP standards across all financial processes and ensuring meticulous collection of W-9 forms, not only preserved our 501c3 status but also ensured audit readiness, minimizing potential tax penalties and compliance risks.Leadership is more than just numbers. I believe in fostering strong relationships both internally and externally. Serving as the primary liaison between the accounting department, staff, and vendors, I've utilized platforms like Asana, Slack, and Signal to ensure seamless collaboration and transparency, enhancing team efficiency and cohesion.If you're seeking a dedicated financial leader passionate about amplifying the impact and effectiveness of non-profit organizations, reach out at tamera.jacobs1@gmail.com.
