About Us

About The Greenwood Institute

Founded in 2023, The Greenwood Institute exists to bridge the gap between financial expertise and real-world business needs—especially for underestimated founders, nonprofits, and small businesses that have outgrown DIY but aren’t ready for a full-time CFO.

We lead with strategy, teach with clarity, and build systems that help our clients feel confident—not confused—about their money.

Our founder, Bianca Pope, brings over a decade of corporate finance and operations experience across tech, manufacturing, and service-based industries. But her real gift is education. She built this firm to help business owners not just survive tax season, but thrive year-round with financial systems, insights, and support that scale with them.

Our Approach

We believe your books should reflect your brilliance—not just your transactions.

That’s why we meet you where you are: whether you’re cleaning up your chart of accounts, prepping for a grant audit, or trying to finally understand what a P&L even does.

We offer two clear paths:

  • Fractional Controller Services for businesses and nonprofits navigating complexity, growth, or compliance

  • Business Literacy Education for founders who want to learn the fundamentals and build a legit, lasting busines

Everything we do is rooted in clarity, strategy, and legacy. Because you deserve more than numbers—you deserve a financial partner who sees the big picture and teaches you how to own it.

We don’t just do the work—we teach you the why behind it.”
