Stéphane Richard
I’m Stéphane Richard, a bilingual senior leader with 20 + years of guiding Canadian non‑profits and camps toward fiscal health and people‑first operations. From streamlining bookkeeping and payroll to coaching staff and tightening risk management, I turn back‑office complexity into sustainable cash flow and mission momentum.After decades inside the sector I launched Richard Development Consulting, giving organisations a fractional COO who brings data‑rich dashboards, cloud‑based systems, and practical HR playbooks—without adding head‑count. My goal is simple: convert late‑night reconciliations into clear‑headed strategy so you can focus on impact, not invoices. Ready to swap paper piles for purpose‑driven performance?

Travis AllisonFor 15 years I co‑led a Canadian non‑profit, so I know first‑hand how endless emails, scattered spreadsheets, and piecemeal tech can smother a mission. Today, I help executive directors across Canada reclaim their day by auditing communications, automating donor and fundraising workflows, and weaving practical AI into the back office.Together we trim busywork, surface actionable data, and craft messages that donors, boards, and communities actually read—freeing you to focus on impact, not inboxes. Clients tell me the hours they save each week more than cover the investment. If you’re ready to trade overwhelm for organised momentum, let’s talk.
