Over 2000 charities and not-for-profit organisations rely on the JMT Consulting Group. We deliver the finance, development, and productivity solutions that these unique organisations require. Helping NFP’s meet their goals of sustainability and effectively pursue their purpose is our mission.
JMT thinks there is a uniqueness that make NFP’s special. So that’s why we’ve specialised in providing our services only to charities and Not-for-profits. As a result, our clients are able to better fulfil their purpose. We help them use the latest and best in cloud-based management and financial solutions. And we help implement these solutions so that NFP’s gain the greatest benefit possible.
Not-for-profits in Australia are very different in both purpose and organisation. So they provide important, and very often vital services for many, many people.
At last count over 600,000 charities and not-for-profits operate in Australia. As a result, their 2019 revenue accounted for about $166 billion.
At JMT Consulting Group we mainly work with large NFP organisations with annual revenue above $1 million. They make up 19% of all Charities & Not-for Profits.
Charities and not-for-profits have to deal with a range of issues that are changing all the time. Additionally covid has put extreme pressure on many of them. It has negatively affected their ability to engage with volunteers. Also, it has affected their revenue from donations. At the same time, many have seen an increased demand for their services. Having robust management and financial systems in place that allow NFP’s to be agile and deal with changing financial situations is essential.
With the introduction of NDIS legislation, charities in this space have had to purchase client management software to ensure they are compliant.
Many management solutions have provided improved functionality. And often the service provision area with customer-focused rostering and client plans has been improved. But many of these solutions don’t provide strong financial systems. Yet financial systems are vitally important for NDIS.

“We have really found that JMT is a true partner. The knowledge of not-for-profit organisations and the questions they asked were really important. They helped us to develop the structure to get us where we wanted to go”
CHRISTINE DIGIULIO
CFO
“I believe that JMT’s work specifically with not-for-profits is extremely beneficial for the simple reason that as not-for-profits we deal with our own set of problems and JMT brings a tremendous resource for best practices and a network connection.”
HEIDI HAPPY
CONTROLLER (FORMER)
“It’s a great benefit that JMT only works with not-for-profits because not-for-profits and for-profit companies are totally different. Identifying the needs of a not-for-profit and solely focusing on that is exactly what you would want in a consulting group”
ANTHONY HERRERA
FINANCIAL SYSTEMS MANAGER
“I would wholeheartedly recommend JMT to any not-for-profit organisation looking for assistance. They are very dedicated and are very knowledgeable”
THOMAS GALACIA

MATT KERNER
DIRECTOR OF FINANCE (FORMER)
