Very few organizations need a full-time Director of Finance — but every organization needs strong financial systems and strategic leadership.

At Unwind Housing, we build structures that enable good stewardship of capital: clear internal controls, effective planning and analysis, and reporting that inspires confidence in funders and partners. 

A fractional Director of Finance helps your organization move beyond bookkeeping to financial visioning — connecting today’s data with tomorrow’s goals. We design and maintain systems that provide clarity, reduce risk, and empower boards and executive teams to make informed, future-focused decisions.

Our consulting practice helps Community Land Trusts and affordable-housing organizations strengthen their foundations and scale their impact. We specialize in working with post-disaster communities, helping harness the shock of disaster towards a re-think of housing.

We work at the intersection of governance, operations, and project execution — supporting start-up CLTs, optimizing systems, and developing affordability frameworks that last generations.

From bylaw drafting and 501(c)(3) application to pricing, resale policy, ground lease and deed restriction strategy, stewardship policy, and transaction support, we help organizations design the systems and documents that sustain long-term community ownership and permanant affordability. 

Whether you’re forming a new CLT or refining an established one, Unwind provides the structure, tools, and insight to move from vision to execution with confidence.
