Sojeila Silva, M.B.A.

Sojeila María Silva  is passionate about social change and using finance as a tool to make that change happen.  Her financial expertise and consulting experience are both broad and deep.  She has over twenty-five years of experience in the nonprofit sector as an activist, staff person, board member, executive director, and consultant.

Ms. Silva specializes in developing and maintaining financial management and accounting systems for nonprofits, financial review and feasibility analysis, decision processes and tools, and financial skills training.

In addition to consulting, Ms. Silva provides workshops and conference presentations on budgeting, financial basics, and the strategic use of financial information as a guide for day-to-day decisions.  She is widely sought after as a presenter and her workshops generally sell out quickly.

Over the last twenty years Ms. Silva has served as the Senior Managing Consultant at the Northern California Community Loan Fund (NCCLF), Executive Director of the Workforce and Economic Development Program of the statewide California Labor Federation, AFL-CIO, and as Chief Executive officer of the SEED Loan Fund in Los Angeles.  Ms. Silva is also an active volunteer in both local and national consulting organizations, in the international microfinance sector, and in the local public schools.  She received her MBA degree from the Anderson School of Management at UCLA.
