Lazarre Consulting Group — strategy, operations, partnerships, and impact
Fractional CFO · Strategic Finance · AI-Enabled Operations

Financial clarity for organizations doing
work that matters.

When the numbers don't add up, nothing else works — the board gets anxious, funders hesitate, and good people burn out guessing. That's when I walk in. I'm Clavel Lazarre. For 20+ years I've stepped into complex, under-resourced organizations, found exactly what's broken, built the controls, and handed leadership numbers they could finally trust — from $1M organizations to $500M.

A $1M annual deficit became a 13% operating surplus — same organization, at a $50M+ human-services nonprofit. I reversed it.

MEET YOUR ADVISOR

Clavel Lazarre, MBA

I've held every seat at the table: CFO, COO, CEO, founder. I've built finance functions for organizations up to $500M, cleaned up books nobody else would touch, negotiated contracts with the City of New York, and grown my own company from $5K to seven figures with 50+ people on payroll. When I work alongside your leadership, the advice comes from having actually done it — and I stay until the problem is solved and the path forward is built.

Who I Work With

Nonprofits & Human-Services Orgs

You fight for the mission. I fight for the money that funds it. Grants, restricted funds, compliance — I turn the tangle into reporting your board finally understands. $1M–$50M budgets.

Organizations in Trouble

The deficit is growing. The audit is coming. Every week you wait costs you. I move fast — stabilize the cash, clean the books, and leave structure that holds.

Growth Outpacing Structure

Growth is the best problem to have — and the fastest way to break an organization. I build the systems, forecasts, and controls so scaling makes you stronger, not sorrier.
