Podcast: The Back Office Conversation Every ED Needs

Running a nonprofit means wearing a lot of hats! Knowing which ones aren't yours to wear might be the most important skill of all.

In this episode of Let's Talk Wilco, we're joined by Sam Smith, Executive Director of the Georgetown Neighborhood Food Project, and Sean Hale, Nonprofit Finance Consultant with Nonprofit CFO, for a candid conversation about what actually belongs in an ED's lane, and what doesn't.

We dig into the back-office systems that make or break small nonprofits: when to delegate, when to outsource, and how to build financial and operational infrastructure from day one that supports growth without burning out your leader. Whether you're a founder-ED wearing every hat, a board member wondering where your role ends and the staff's begins, or a nonprofit professional trying to set better boundaries, this conversation is for you.
