Embedded leadership for growing mission-driven organizations.

Senior operations, finance, and technology leaders embedded in your team, on retainer, without the cost of three full-time executives.

Does any of this sound familiar?

The pattern we see in growing organizations.

01

You're the bottleneck. Nothing moves without you.

02

Your team waits to be told what to do.

03

You can't tell what's actually working.

04

Your board or funders are showing concern.

05

You're burned out. So are key people.

06

You're not sure you'd pass an audit or security review.

If three or more describe you right now, we should talk about them.

What we do

Three disciplines, one team, one contract.

We embed across operations, finance, and technology, scaled to your size. Take one area or all three.

Operations

  • Strategic planning & budgeting
  • Payroll, training, & HR policies
  • Vendor management
  • CRM, metrics, & dashboards
  • Board operations support

Finance

  • Policies & procedures
  • Accounting & reporting
  • Audit & 990 support
  • Federal grants compliance
  • Forecasting & board engagement

Technology

  • IT infrastructure & cloud
  • Cybersecurity & compliance
  • Systems integration
  • Disaster recovery
  • Data & privacy policies

Why Aristos

A fraction of the cost of building it in-house.

01

Built for impact

Nonprofits, associations, NGOs, and federally-funded organizations are our core. We also serve government, B-Corps, and mission-driven small businesses.

02

Senior people, not junior staff

You work directly with senior team members. 70+ combined years leading operations, finance, and technology.

03

One team, one contract

Operations, finance, and technology under one roof. No juggling three vendors who don't talk to each other.

04

Embedded, not parachuted in

Fixed monthly retainers, in your meetings, owning the work. We win when your operations actually improve.
