Hi, I’m Josiane.
From field experience, I’ve seen firsthand how challenging and time-consuming it can be for CEOs and Executives like you to manage the finances of your nonprofit or charity organization.
I get how these multi-facetted responsibilities can easily pull you away from the actual mission-critical work of your organization.
You should not have to be in that situation, and that’s why I started Zivo.
As a CPA with an MBA degree and experience as a CFO at organizations of varying sizes, I have helped both NPOs and for-profits grow and blossom financially.
My experience includes several years of working with KPMG (one of the Big Four accounting firms in the world), a national CPA firm, and various senior leadership positions in the private and nonprofit sectors.
Together with my team, we lighten your load through the tools, support, and real-time financial insight you need to make the right strategic decisions and advance your mission.
It starts with having conversation with us, so we can determine the next steps together.
So, book your free consultation today, so you can take the daily financial management load off your shoulders, and focus on your mission-critical work.
In the meantime, get our free article called 7 Steps To Mastering Nonprofit Accounting.
We look forward to working together towards your goals!

When I am not crunching numbers, you can find me in the kitchen. I love cooking especially Filipino dishes such as Pancit, Adobo etc.
Occasionally, I go out with my friends to unwind, relax, and catch up.

I love math and designing. However, I did not enroll in the architectural courses because all my friends were enrolled in accounting. Funny it is but I ended up pursuing a career in accounting because my friends decided to enroll in the accounting program as well. It was a blessing in disguise perhaps because I am now enjoying my job as an accountant, and I treasure my relationship with my clients and colleagues.
When I am not crunching numbers, you can find me spending time with my husband and our two kids having picnic or campfire in our backyard.
I am an optimistic person who always believes that everything happens for a reason.
I am always inspired to serve our company, my team and our clients and become instrumental in bringing success to them in any way I can.
More so, I am a TV shows fan!

I decided to pursue a career in accounting because accountants are known to uphold their integrity, ethics and that is how I want to live my life.
When I am not crunching numbers, you can find me spending time with my family at a Korean BBQ restaurant and having coffee afterwards. Baking cakes is also what I love to do during my free time.
It was not easy for me to achieve what I have now, but I manage to take control and be the best version of me.
As you grow older, you will discover that you gave two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. I want to inspire others to be the best versions of themselves.

I was introduced to the idea of becoming an accountant during my college admission. I was supposed to enroll in the college of engineering; however, there was no open slot for engineering at that time, so I decided to pursue a career in accounting instead.
