SARAH C.A. SCHULMAN, Financial and Management Services for Nonprofits

My professional experience is in holding executive level positions in nonprofit organizations, specializing in the areas of Financial Management, Administration and Human Resources.

During my career, I have had complete responsibility for all financial areas in the organizations for which I have worked, including: monthly financial statements, creation of annual budget, grants administration, yearly audit, business planning, tax filings, investments, endowments, general accounting, payroll, supervision of accounting staff, and leadership in all other typical nonprofit financial matters. I have also had complete human resources responsibilities, including: hiring and firing, benefits administration, compliance with current employment laws, and leadership in all other customary human resource issues.

In 2005 I opened my own nonprofit consulting firm. From 2001-2005, I held
the position of Director of Finance and Operations at the California Historical Society. Previously I held the positions of Director of Administration and Finance at the public-interest law firm, Public Advocates, and the same position at the public-interest law firm, The Public Interest Law Offices.
