• Missed indirect cost recovery

• Audit stress and recurring findings

These issues quietly place funding, credibility, and leadership confidence at risk.

CFO-level leadership focused on:

About Us
 
Onyx & Anchor CFO Group provides fractional CFO and financial leadership services for nonprofits, charter schools, and grant-funded organizations navigating complex funding, compliance, and audit environments.

The firm was founded to deliver financial stability, compliance confidence, and long-term funding strength to mission-driven organizations that require senior-level financial oversight without the cost of a full-time CFO.

Our work is led by Aki R. Davis, a finance executive with nearly 20 years of experience in nonprofit and grant-funded accounting. Throughout his career, he has supported organizations through audits, funding transitions, compliance challenges, and periods of growth - often serving as the steady financial anchor during moments of heightened operational and funding risk.

Onyx & Anchor specializes in grant compliance, cost allocation, audit readiness, cash flow management, and funding optimization. We partner closely with executive teams and boards to protect funding, strengthen financial infrastructure, and ensure finance functions operate as a strategic asset rather than a source of uncertainty.

At Onyx & Anchor CFO Group, we believe strong financial leadership is essential to mission success. Our role is to provide CFO-level insight and oversight that stabilizes today’s operations while positioning organizations for stronger, more sustainable funding outcomes tomorrow.
