In this pioneering and challenging guide, Adrian Poffley asks whether you are most efficiently transforming your charity’s income into the most impact.

Are you making each penny you earn create the biggest possible impact?

Drawing on the latest thinking of organisations and charities worldwide, Adrian outlines five key principles that should be at the heart of your organisation’s strategic thinking. Financial management, he argues, should be every organisation’s driving factor.
