Meet Karen Hamilton (she/her)

Karen is a seasoned nonprofit finance and operations executive with over 20 years of experience leading financial and administrative functions at some of Chicago's most respected nonprofit organizations. 

Founder, Perry Hamilton Consulting

I know what it's like to be the person responsible for keeping everything running behind the scenes at a nonprofit - the budgets, the audits, the board meetings, the compliance deadlines, and everything in between.


For more than 20 years. I've managed multi-million-dollar budgets, led organizations through annual audits, launched new financial systems from the ground up, and supported boards and leadership teams at some of Chicago's most respected nonprofit institutions - including The Civic Federation, The Chicago Bar Foundation, and Children First Fund.


My work with these organizations, and others, led me to found Perry Hamilton Consulting. I've seen first-hand that too many mission-driven organizations are held back not by a lack of passion, but by back-office systems that aren't working effectively.


My approach is practical, collaborative, and personal. I take the time to understand your organization, your challenges, and your goals - and then I get to work! Whether you need ongoing support or help with a specific challenge, I'm in your corner.
