About Us
Strategic Management Consulting’s (SMC) non-profit client base is diverse; cultural, educational and religious institutions, social service providers, organizations large and small. We provide a full range of financial, management and fund-raising services for those who create and operate major non-profit community resources. Though the challenges are great, the fundamentals of financial planning, leadership development and strategic thinking are universal. Hard work and smart counsel can lead to success.
SMC has a national network of strategic partners in major cities: New York, Los Angeles, Ft. Lauderdale and Denver — as well as resources in other communities. This allows us to serve clients throughout the U.S.
SMC was founded by Siobhan McDermott in 1998, after her long association with the national development consulting firm, Milano Ruff & Associates, and considerable experience in the New York non-profit community. Unlike other firms, all SMC consultants have actually worked on the front lines, in nonprofit organizations. Our team offers a rare blend of hands-on experience as both staff members and consultants. SMC has forged many strategic alliances with development professionals and firms, researchers and other service providers, allowing us to offer clients cost-efficient and effective expertise tailored to your specific needs.
