Waymark Advisory helps nonprofits strengthen financial stewardship, build donor confidence, and establish effective oversight of donor funds.
Does one person handle all of your organization's finances? What would happen if they suddenly left or became unavailable?
Do you have clear visibility into how donor funds are received, managed, and spent?
Does your board feel confident that your financial reports are accurate, complete, and easy to understand?
Do you have documented financial policies and procedures for receiving, counting, depositing, recording, and safeguarding funds?
Are you concerned about fraud, errors, or inadequate internal controls—but a full audit isn't practical or affordable?
Would an independent review of your financial processes give your board and donors greater confidence?
Too often, organizations place significant financial responsibilities on trusted volunteers or limited staff without controlled processes or oversight that properly safeguard donor funds, lifting the burdens of risk for everyone. The absence of these processes can also undermine confidence among donors, board members, and volunteers/staff.
I bring a unique combination of corporate, nonprofit, and board leadership experience that few advisors can offer. With more than 16 years in corporate financial risk management, 15 years leading a nonprofit organization, and 5 years serving as a nonprofit board treasurer, I understand both the challenges nonprofits face and the practical solutions that help them thrive.
My experience spans governance, financial oversight, operations, internal controls, and process improvement. I help organizations apply sound stewardship and risk management practices in ways that are practical, affordable, and appropriate for their size and mission. The result is stronger processes, practical oversight and better protection of the resources entrusted to them.

“Dianna was a tremendous asset on the board of my non-profit. As treasurer, she provided clear financial reports to our Board of Directors and made informed recommendations for how we could improve our financial position. She is a great sounding board who also brings years of understanding of finances in both the non-profit and corporate worlds”.
