He was head of international finance at Oxfam GB and senior lecturer in accounting and financial management at Oxford Brookes University.

I offer training and consultancy services to international development and development education organisations and have an established track record. For over 20 years I have provided technical and management expertise to INGOs and together with them have worked with southern communities to develop education, health and environmental projects. Since 1996 I have combined this with advising on, and designing, development education initiatives in Europe and Asia . I provide training, mentoring and coaching for staff of NGOs developing and managing projects and write applications to major funders. From parallel work as a psychotherapist with individuals and groups I bring an experiential dimension to capacity building with southern partners and the community groups they serve. I have developed an innovative approach to Logical Framework Analysis, which facilitates diverse stakeholders in a joint participatory process that encourages individual and group creativity and ensures transparency, accountability and flexibility throughout the project life-cycle. Originally trained in industrial design, architecture and planning, I brought my technical and management skills to the sector as co-founder of a small UK INGO, which I directed for 12 years. From this I built extensive experience of what does and doesn't work in community development initiatives involving environmental regeneration and appropriate technology. | ||

Chris Mowles is an experienced organisational consultant and evaluator with a ten year track record of consultancies. More recently, while completing his PhD, he has focused on the practice of management and strategy in INGOs. As a consequence he has mentored CEOs and senior managers, and has run learning sets which reflect on practice. He has become interested in supporting staff in struggling organisations or programmes to move them on; for example, he recently completed a term as interim director for a children's charity, where his task was to steady working relationships, write a new strategy with trustees and staff and recruit a replacement. Chris draws on analogies from the complexity sciences and theories of emergence in his work, so he is particularly interested in open-ended, messy problems or situations where practice and organisational conversations have become stuck or repetitive. The difference this makes is that he focuses with staff on the situation that they find themselves in and what concerns them, rather than importing an idealised model of 'best practice'. He has begun to publish work in development journals on the theory and practice of management and strategy, as well as presenting papers at conferences. Chris has also worked with the private and public sectors and co-founded a start-up marketing business. | ||

We help NGOs to overcome their financial management struggles both in good times and times of crisis. Our "finance director" service is flexible to suit your circumstances, be they interim, part-time or on a virtual basis. Having seen some of the extra difficulties faced by organisations with limited financial resources, we have also designed a "NGO total support service" where you can leave all your accounting work with us. Golam Morshed's involvement with NGOs has spanned three continents: starting in Asia, spending time in Africa and finally tasting head office environment in the UK. He brings an insight from both sides of the fence: Treasurer vs. Finance Director, expatriate vs. local and grassroots vs. international. His MBA, on top of the FCMA accountancy qualification (FCMA), coupled with diverse experience is an assurance that he is an accountant who thinks outside the box. Why don't you ring us number 0798 465 7612, 0207 193 4545 or contact us via email to find out how we can add value to your organisation. | ||
