About Josh
Joshua Gonzales is the founder of 21 Light Street, a fractional CFO practice built specifically for nonprofit organizations. He partners with mission-driven teams to bring financial clarity, compliance confidence, and strategic direction — without the overhead of a full-time hire.
With over 15 years of experience across finance, accounting, and nonprofit management, Josh specializes in helping organizations between $250K and $2M in revenue build the financial systems and reporting infrastructure they need to grow sustainably.
His approach is rooted in a simple belief: every nonprofit — regardless of size — deserves access to the same caliber of financial leadership that large institutions have. That means real forecasting, board-ready reporting, grant compliance, and financial strategy that supports your mission.
Josh also writes about nonprofit financial topics on the 21 Light Street blog, covering everything from unrestricted cash balances to audit preparation for small and mid-size organizations.
