Amy McPherson | CEO & Founding Partner
​
I have worked in nonprofit finance for almost 25 years. I have an MBA from Columbia University.
​
I love working with the folks on the front line of nonprofit organizations. It is very rewarding to help build capacity in organizations so they can focus on their mission feeling empowered and supported by their financial information.
​
I feel fortunate to have such a shared sense of purpose with my AFC team members and our nonprofit partners which keeps me motivated every day.
​
Sometimes it's a challenge to balance our four core values, all of which matter deeply. I think transparency is the key to making the other three values work. Transparency allows all stakeholders to understand the information they are seeing in a deeper way than just looking at numbers. At AFC, we have shifted our internal focus to transparency, which has made accomplishing the other three goals easier.
​
When I'm not advising for change I'm playing outside. I am a member of an adult horse-back riding team and yoga-lover.

Transparency produces trust and goodwill, both critical values to a strong working partnership.
Mo Idowu | Advisor
I joined the Advisors for Change team in 2022 and bring with me a BS in Accounting and a Masters in Forensic Accounting. I am also currently pursuing my CPA certification and am a Certified Nonprofit Accounting Professional (CNAP). Previous to AFC, my professional experiences include serving as a non-profit accountant, where I managed the full accounting cycle as well as procurement procedures. Other roles I’ve previously served include a staff accountant for several organizations and a financial analyst.
Through my work, I take particular care to ensure transparency in an organization’s financial system. I believe that transparency produces trust and goodwill, both critical values to a strong working partnership. As a member of the AFC team, I am most looking forward to helping to ensure that our non-profit partner organizations’ financial health will not only support the pursuit of their mission, but also place them in a position to take on additional growth opportunities.
