With Impact Mates

-
What kind of organizations do you typically support?Our clients are primarily non-profits and purpose-driven businesses. One of our core values is “impact,” so we are constantly seeking to make a difference. We support our clients so that they may better focus on their organizational mission. Our goal is to do our part in creating a more equitable world, one that provides food, education, and decent work for all people. Our team is guided by the 17 sustainable principles introduced by the UN. In a nutshell, we are anti-inequality and pro-opportunity for all.
-
What is your fee structure?Once we have established an agreed-upon plan, we will work with you to determine the logical next steps and implementation plan. Our relationship is projected for the long term, so we intent to find an investment level that is right for you and that works with your agency’s budget.
-
What is the general timeframe for your services?We are in it for the long term. We are not a consultancy. Our team does not come in, devise a plan, and then quickly depart. We develop a plan in collaboration with our partners and implement in tandem. Our goal is to serve as true partners, not as just another outsourced service. Consider us your fellow teammates. Our Discovery and Planning phase typically lasts one to three weeks. Upon completion, we will remain for as long as you require. As partners, we will assume responsibility for your operations, so that you may have peace of mind. If you need a short-time project, please give us a call, and we can discuss the best options.
-
How much time will be required from me?Once the strategic plan is finalized, we will meet with you on a weekly or bi-weekly basis for progress updates. During the Discovery and Planning phase, we will need at least 10 hours of your time along with that of your staff. This will allow us to better assess your current growth opportunities.
-
When do you expect us to see real changes?Our processes are intended to organize your back office in as little time as a month. Not all projects can be implemented right away, but our plan is to constantly apply modifications so that you can readily benefit from a more organized and supportive back office. You can anticipate high quality support and simplified processes immediately.
-
Where are you located?We are based in the San Francisco Bay area. Our founders have worked in the non-profit arena for over a decade, and have ample experience navigating government contracts, such as with the City & County of San Francisco and Alameda County.
-
I don’t need all of your services. Can I hire you for some?Absolutely. We are firm in our belief that a combined team has a greater impact on your organization, but we are happy to partner to a lesser capacity. Our primary goal is to provide a seamless integration of your back office. The process is a true partnership, so collaboration on next steps and a cohesive implementation plan is essential.
-
Are you a consultancy firm?No, we are not! We do not want our partners to handle the heavy lifting. That’s our job. We arrive with a professional team that is intended to stay for the long term. We will run your operations on a daily basis, and remain an extension of your team.
-
What if I don’t agree with your ideas?That’s okay! This is a collaborative engagement. Even if we try to tailor a plan based on our previous experiences, you might have your own ideas. We will listen carefully to your concerns and methods. Our team is 100% committed to charting the right path with you and your staff.
-
We tried to outsource previously, but it was unsuccessful. We found ourselves having to manage them. How are you different?"We understand your frustration. That’s precisely why we created Impactmates, a back-office solution that manages itself. Because we work as a cohesive unit, we have devised a plan that integrates all elements of the back office. You will be assigned an Account Manager. One person, 4 diverse skill sets, all working seamlessly to serve you.
