A husband-and-wife consultancy · Washington, DC
We give growing organizations the senior leadership they need, right when they need it — for your technology and for your mission, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Two practices, one firm
Between the two of us, we cover a surprising amount of ground. Come to us for one practice or both — whatever your challenge actually needs, systems and stewardship.
Senior technology leadership for organizations not ready for a full-time CIO — setting strategy, steadying operations, and making systems and data serve the business. Decades in enterprise SaaS and the Salesforce ecosystem, minus the sales pitch.
Twenty years of grants, program, and operations leadership for foundations, non-profits, and international development organizations — strengthening compliance, process, and the systems behind them.
Fixed-scope engagement
An independent, vendor-neutral review of your organization's digital systems, with a practical multi-year roadmap at the end. Built for non-profits, research institutes, and international development organizations that run across several countries, and for growing companies that have outgrown their tools. It's largely remote, takes weeks rather than months, and there's nothing to sell you afterwards.
What we review
What you get
Stakeholder interviews across HQ and regional offices, a systems and vendor inventory, and a review of existing documentation and spend.
Benchmark each area against good practice for an organization of your size and mission. Name the risks, gaps, and quick wins plainly.
A prioritized 2–4 year roadmap with sequencing, rough budgets, and governance, presented to leadership and the board.
Where the practices meet
Non-profits rarely need just a system or just an operator — they need both. Olja has run $50M+ grant portfolios and streamlined the grant- and program-management operations, and the underlying tech stack, that keep mission-driven organizations moving. Morgan has built technology for the American Red Cross, Special Olympics, and Lutheran World Relief, and architects the platforms that make it all run. Together, TidyOps designs the workflow and the software behind it.
The Partners
We're small on purpose. You work directly with the person doing the work — no account managers, no hand-offs, no bench of juniors learning on your dime.
A strategic grants management and operations leader with 20+ years across philanthropic, non-profit, and international development organizations — known for sound judgment, process improvement, and mentoring teams across borders.

How we work
Good governance is the difference between a system you own and one that owns you. We map how everything fits together and hand you the visibility to plan and decide.
We do the hard, unglamorous work — untangling data, processes, and automations that drifted over time — so your team can rely on what's in front of them.
Change is hard when it's out of control. We bring stakeholders along, prepare teams for what's next, and put review and compliance where they belong.
