How Scrubbed Transformed a Nonprofit CFO’s Role from Financial Firefighting to Strategic Leadership
Playworks, a national nonprofit dedicated to providing safe and inclusive play for low-income students, faced financial management challenges that limited its ability to scale and operate efficiently. When CFO Satoshi Steimetz took on the role, he needed a way to gain financial clarity, improve reporting, and focus on strategic initiatives—without being consumed by day-to-day accounting tasks.
Initially engaged for an accounting system transition, Scrubbed quickly became a long-term partner, taking full ownership of Playworks’ financial operations. With Scrubbed managing invoicing, collections, reporting, and forecasting, Steimetz gained the insights and efficiency he needed to strengthen donor confidence, improve collections, and ensure financial sustainability.
This case study highlights how outsourcing to Scrubbed transformed the CFO’s role, allowing him to shift from financial firefighting to strategic leadership—proving that expert accounting support can be a catalyst for nonprofit success.
