About Action4Equity Action4Equity is a Black-led systems change organization advancing equity through community organizing, community governance, public policy, and community development. Our work spans education, health, housing, economic mobility, justice, and community well-being. We partner with residents, nonprofits, philanthropy, healthcare systems, government, and other institutions to create measurable systems change. As our organization continues to grow, we are investing in the organizational infrastructure needed to measure impact, improve decision-making, and strengthen community outcomes. This Is Not a Traditional Evaluation Role If your experience is primarily grant reporting, compliance, or program evaluation, this engagement is probably not the right fit. We are looking for an executive-level thought partner who can build the organizational systems that help leadership learn, adapt, improve, and demonstrate impact. This role sits at the intersection of executive strategy, organizational learning, performance management, evaluation, data, and systems change. Our Philosophy Action4Equity's work is grounded in Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed and the belief that people closest to community challenges are also closest to the solutions. We do not view residents as subjects to be studied or beneficiaries to be measured. We view them as co-creators of knowledge, co-designers of solutions, and leaders in defining what success looks like. Our approach integrates: Pedagogy of the Oppressed Community Governance Participatory Research Systems Thinking Continuous Organizational Learning Results Count® (Annie E. Casey Foundation) We already use the Results Count® framework as the foundation of our organizational performance management system. We are not looking for someone to replace that methodology. Instead, we are looking for someone who can operationalize and scale Results Count® across the organization by building the infrastructure, governance, dashboards, scorecards, reporting systems, and organizational routines necessary to make it an executive management system rather than simply a reporting framework. We believe data exists to strengthen community decision-making—not simply satisfy funders. The Opportunity We are seeking a Fractional Chief Impact Officer to build Action4Equity's enterprise performance management and organizational learning function. Working directly with our Co-CEOs and executive leadership team, you will design the systems that allow our Board, leadership, staff, and community partners to understand organizational performance and continuously improve our impact. This engagement begins with a 90-day implementation project. Our intention is to establish a long-term relationship with the right candidate. Following successful completion of the initial engagement, there is a strong opportunity to continue as Action4Equity's ongoing Fractional Chief Impact Officer, providing executive leadership for organizational performance management, organizational learning, evaluation, and data strategy. Scope of Work The selected consultant will help design and implement: Enterprise performance management framework Organization-wide KPIs Executive dashboards Board dashboards Department scorecards Results Count® implementation Organizational learning systems Evaluation framework Community well-being measurement Systems change measurement Data governance standards Grant outcome measurement framework Organizational reporting systems Quarterly performance review process Annual impact reporting AI-enabled reporting and analytics where appropriate Initial 90-Day Deliverables Days 1–30 Assess current performance management systems Review existing metrics and reporting Evaluate Results Count® implementation Identify organizational data gaps Deliver Executive Assessment with recommendations Days 31–60 Develop enterprise KPI framework Design executive dashboard Design Board dashboard Create departmental scorecards Develop standardized reporting templates Build implementation roadmap Days 61–90 Launch executive dashboards Implement organizational scorecards Establish quarterly performance review process Develop annual impact reporting framework Train executive leadership Deliver long-term roadmap for ongoing management Ideal Background We're looking for professionals who have served in roles such as: Chief Impact Officer Chief Strategy Officer Chief Performance Officer Chief Data Officer VP of Strategy VP of Organizational Effectiveness Director of Learning & Evaluation Executive Strategy Consultant Organizational Development Executive You should have experience building enterprise-wide performance management systems—not simply evaluating individual programs. Preferred Experience Experience with one or more of the following is highly desirable: Results Count® Results-Based Accountability (RBA) Participatory Evaluation Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Participatory Action Research (PAR) Developmental Evaluation Organizational Learning Systems Thinking Collective Impact Community Governance Change Management Executive Dashboard Development Performance Management Systems Experience working with nonprofit organizations, philanthropy, government, healthcare systems, higher education, or community-based organizations is preferred. Deliverables By the conclusion of the initial engagement, Action4Equity expects to receive: Enterprise KPI framework Executive dashboard Board dashboard Department scorecards Enterprise performance management framework Evaluation framework Organizational learning framework Data governance recommendations Quarterly reporting process Annual impact reporting framework Executive implementation roadmap Proposal Requirements Please include: A brief summary of organizations similar to Action4Equity that you've supported. Examples of executive dashboards, performance management systems, or organizational scorecards you've designed. Your experience implementing Results Count®, Results-Based Accountability (RBA), or other performance management frameworks. Your experience with participatory evaluation, organizational learning, community governance, or systems change. An example of how your work improved executive decision-making. Your proposed approach to the first 90 days. Your estimated weekly availability. Your hourly or fixed-project rate. What Success Looks Like At the end of this engagement, Action4Equity will have an enterprise performance management and organizational learning system that integrates Results Count®, community governance, participatory learning, and executive decision-making. Leadership, staff, residents, and the Board will have timely, meaningful information that supports better decisions, continuous improvement, and measurable systems change while honoring the expertise and leadership of the communities we serve. Successful completion of this engagement is expected to transition into an ongoing fractional executive relationship leading and continuously improving this function as Action4Equity grows.

We are building a full-service, AI-native accounting firm. Clients hire us to do their accounting—not to provide them with accounting software. Our agents perform most of the repetitive production work, while our accountants own the decisions, quality, client relationships, and final outcomes. Traditional accounting firms are built as labor pyramids: large teams perform manual work, while a small number of senior accountants review it. We are building around a smaller team of exceptional accountants supported by agents. That allows us to invest far more in each accountant. We intend to compensate accountants at the same level as senior technical employees: $165,000–$215,000 in base salary upon conversion. We are not using AI to make accounting jobs cheaper. We are using it to create a more leveraged accounting role with fewer layers, broader ownership, and substantially higher compensation. THE ROLE We are hiring experienced accountants to join our accounting team through a 6–9 month contract-to-hire engagement. You will own the accounting outcomes for a portfolio of small and midsize businesses. Agents will prepare much of the underlying work. You will review that work, investigate exceptions, make accounting decisions, complete the close, communicate with clients, and take responsibility for what we deliver. This is an accounting position—not an AI-training, product, software implementation, or data-labeling role. WHAT YOU'LL OWN • The accuracy and completeness of client books • Month-end close and financial reporting • Review of agent-prepared transactions, reconciliations, schedules, workpapers, and supporting evidence • Accounting decisions involving ambiguity, materiality, timing, classification, and business context • Identification of unusual activity, unsupported balances, missing information, and financial risk • Direct communication with clients when additional context or action is required • Clear documentation of significant accounting conclusions • Final approval of work before client delivery • Consistent, on-time outcomes across your client portfolio WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE • Books are closed accurately and on time • Every material balance is supported and explainable • Problems are identified before they reach the client or year-end • Review focuses attention on risk and exceptions instead of manually repeating completed work • Clients trust both the numbers and the accountant responsible for them • Financial reporting helps clients understand what is happening in their businesses WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR • Two or more years of progressive accounting experience • Experience personally owning accounting engagements through close and financial reporting • Strong knowledge of accounting for U.S. businesses • Experience managing multiple clients, entities, or business units simultaneously • Sound professional judgment when the correct answer is not immediately obvious • The ability to detect issues that routine processing and checklist-based review may miss • Strong written and verbal communication with business owners • A record of taking responsibility for completed work and client outcomes A CPA, EA or equivalent professional qualification is preferred. Experience in construction and trades, nonprofits, or consulting and professional services is especially valuable. We do not select accountants based on familiarity with a particular software stack. COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYMENT • Initial engagement: 6–9 month contract-to-hire through Upwork • Contract compensation: $3,500–$5,000 recurring weekly payment, depending on experience and scope • Full-time availability expected during the contract period • Expected salary upon conversion: $165,000–$215,000 base • Long-term, full-time employee position for successful candidates • Remote • Immediate start HIRING PROCESS Application review Focused interview about accounting work you have personally owned Paid accounting case review Contract offer We are interviewing immediately and expect to make our first contract offers within a few days. HOW TO APPLY Please answer these questions: Tell us about a material issue you discovered that routine processing or a standard review had missed. How did you identify it? Describe an accounting decision you made when the available information did not point to one obvious answer. What evidence did you consider? What is your availability to interview and begin work?

We're looking for a designer. Not just someone who executes a brief, a designer who makes the work better than the brief asked for. Who we are Daydream Communications is a woman-owned agency rooted in Connecticut and reaching across the nation. We specialize in marketing campaigns for nonprofits, public health, community engagement, and mental health, creating award-winning strategy and design for organizations working to improve community health and well-being. Health and educational information has a reputation for being dry, and we work to change that: we bring the creativity of a marketing agency to campaigns built for social good. What you'll design Our work raises awareness, reduces stigma, motivates behavior change, and connects people to care. It makes hard topics easier to talk about and turns public health goals into visuals people actually stop and pay attention to. Good health design is clear without being clinical, compassionate without being vague, and credible without being boring. That's the design we need. The mix changes all the time, and that's part of the job. Depending on the week, you might be designing: Social media: graphics, templates, and scroll-stopping visuals that earn attention and keep it. Bold, clear, human. Newsletters and email: layouts where the visual hierarchy does half the work of getting a piece read. Paid ads, billboards, and out-of-home: often just a passing glance to make an impression, and every asset has to earn it. Animated graphics: short motion graphics and animated call-outs for social, digital ads, and presentations, things that add movement without needing a full video production. Campaign collateral: one-pagers, decks, end cards, logos, and more, all of which need to stay clear and credible even when the content is dense. Web and digital layouts: page and section designs for websites and landing pages. You don't need to build the site yourself (though you can if you're able), but you'll often be the one figuring out how a page should look and flow. Some assignments call for traditional, carefully vetted, on-brand educational materials. Others give you more room to surprise. Great design stands out either way — you'll need the range to do both well, and the judgment to know which is which. Designing brilliantly inside constraints is part of the craft, not an exception to it. Who you are You care about the issues. Mental health, substance use prevention, crisis services, public health: this work is about people's lives, and we want someone who finds that motivating. Design that's creative and responsible is the whole job. A designer with taste. You can tell good design from bad, and you can explain why. We value the end result more than your years of experience. We know great design when we see it, and we know what we're looking for, so whatever your years of experience, we welcome you applying. You're comfortable working within brand guidelines while still pushing a concept further, and you know how to translate someone else's copy or content into something visually alive. You know Adobe Creative Suite and Canva, and can deliver clean, organized files. You're flexible about where the work starts. Sometimes you'll get finished copy and design around it; other times you'll get a concept or a rough idea and build the visual first, which then shapes what the writer creates. Either direction is normal here, and you're comfortable working both ways. You're responsive. We don't expect you online at all hours, but we do generally expect to hear back the same day, even if it's just to say when you'll have something for us. You find this fun. You like trying out new ideas, you stay on top of design trends, and you're not afraid to set a few of your own. You welcome feedback and can also explain the thinking behind your choices. How to apply Send us: A portfolio or at least three work samples. We'd love to see work from the categories above, social graphics, ads, campaign collateral, or similar, but we're happy to look at other samples too, as long as the design had to earn attention and keep it. Show us range if you have it: something bold and something that had to play it straight. Published work, spec work, personal projects, and class projects all count if they're good. 2–3 designs that inspire you (not your own work), each with a 2–3 sentence note on why you think it's good design. We want to see how you think about design, not just what you've been asked to make. A short note (not a formal cover letter) telling us which of your samples you're proudest of and what draws you to Daydream. Your resume. Rate: $30–$50/hour, depending on experience · Hours: 5–20 hours per week, varying with project load. We cannot guarantee a certain number of hours per week.
