Emily Nilsson

I’m a finance professional with a strong background in nonprofit financial management, having served as a Finance Officer for a dynamic nonprofit organization. What drives me is the opportunity to make a meaningful impact through sound financial management, particularly in environments where resources are limited but the potential for positive change is immense. I am passionate about using my skills to help organizations maximize their financial resources so they can focus on their mission and achieve long-term success. My ability to balance the rigor of financial oversight with a commitment to mission-driven work has shaped my career, and I’m eager to continue applying my expertise in new ways.

In my current role, I manage budgeting, financial reporting, and compliance to ensure that resources were effectively allocated to support our mission. I developed expertise in preparing financial statements, overseeing audits, and working closely with program teams to align financial strategies with organizational goals. My experience has also included identifying cost-saving measures, optimizing financial processes, and implementing systems that improved efficiency while maintaining the highest standards of accountability.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Purdue Global University, where I gained a solid foundation in financial analysis, budgeting, and strategic decision-making. My coursework included financial modeling, investment analysis, and accounting principles, equipping me with the technical skills necessary for effective financial management. The program also emphasized critical thinking and problem-solving, preparing me to navigate complex financial scenarios and contribute to organizational success.
