Helping Mission Driven Organizations Build What’s Next
Strategy | Operations | People | Programs
At Brightside Advisors, we don’t just create strategies, we help bring them to life. We work at the intersection of strategy and operations, where vision meets execution, and partner with mission-driven organizations to turn big ideas into solutions that stick. We strengthen your work by building practical systems, structures, and processes that keep things moving forward. Our approach is collaborative, equity-centered, and rooted in the day-to-day realities and real-world rhythms of organizations.

“Kellie Hinkle was a critical strategic partner as we worked as consultants to guide a large nonprofit organization through a significant period of change. Kellie is both extremely competent and fast! She quickly read the situation, analyzed the key data, assessed what was needed - and jumped in. She came up with creative solutions and successfully collaborated with the Executive Team and drove work teams, positively impacting results. Kellie is a strong, effective, and kind leader and I am grateful for her help, wisdom, and can-do spirit!”
