Jim Gutierrez

Finance & Contracts Manager

At BUILD I…

Work together with our staff, consultants, vendors and our fiscal sponsor (Third Sector New England) on all matters related to BUILD’s finances, budgets, and contracts. BUILD’s finances are a team effort and I support and provide financial planning and management, budgeting and analysis, and contract management.

I do this work because…

Having a finance/business background, working with companies with profit making agendas always seemed a logical course for my career. I simply hated it. I wanted to help in other ways. I found non-profit the best situation for me. I’m not necessarily on the front line of the work we do, put I can help behind the scenes and assist in providing a stable, fiscally sound environment that keeps staff focused on the mission and not day to day operations of the completed non-profit world.
