This document discusses the role of finance in non-profit organizations. It suggests that the finance function can move from being seen as a "production machine" focused on controls, to becoming a "partner in business" and "decision making information" by engaging more with programs and sharing reviews and analysis. The goal is for finance to add more value in a non-profit environment.
