Lynda is a first-generation, low-income college graduate who today is the owner of her own consulting practice, LSRB Consulting LLC.

She is committed to building the financial management, accounting, and governance acumen and capacity of nonprofit board members, management teams, staff, and volunteers. She accomplishes this through the development and delivery of training to groups of nonprofit leaders and direct assistance on finance and accounting related matters including, but not limited to, serving as interim CFO, audit preparation, and policies and procedures assessments. Lynda has over 16 years of experience working with nonprofit organizations in various capacities including board member, treasurer, CFO, external auditor, consultant, and volunteer.

She is excited to have the opportunity to share her knowledge and experience with an organization whose mission is aligned with her own personal experience.

Prior to launching LSRB Consulting LLC, Lynda was an Associate Director in Protiviti’s Public Services Group. After serving as the CFO of Share Our Strength, a $20 million nonprofit headquartered in Washington, DC where she oversaw all finance, human resources, IT, and office administration activities, she realized that risk management was an integral component of everything she did as a CFO. She joined Protiviti to return to her consulting roots and learn more about risk management. For the 3 years she was with Protiviti, Lynda worked with nonprofits and associations that performed risk-based assessments of their financial and accounting processes and governance infrastructure deepening her knowledge and understanding of the risks inherent within an organization and cost-effective solutions to mitigating those risks. She has written articles and whitepapers as well as delivered a number of presentations on the impact of Sarbanes-Oxley on the government, education, and not-for-profit sectors. Lynda began her career in the external audit and business consulting practices of Arthur Andersen.

Lynda has been recognized by the Center for Social Leadership as a Best Practices Leader and the Standards for Excellence Institute as a licensed consultant. She currently serves as a faculty member of the AICPA and Center for Nonprofit Advancement, serves on the Audit Committee for NACCRRA. Previously she served as a peer reviewer for the MANO Standards for Excellence Institute certification program and was a contributing member of the Greater DC Cares’ Nonprofit Governance Network. Lynda completed the Georgetown University Public Policy Institute Nonprofit Management Executive Certification Program, holds a CPA license in both Wisconsin and Virginia and is a certified project manager. She earned a B.B.A – Accounting (cum laude) from the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh.
