Empowering Your Mission
I founded Faith Financial Solutions out of a deep-seated commitment to supporting the vital work of nonprofits and schools. We understand that these organizations are the community backbone, and their success depends on robust, transparent fiscal management.

Today, we continue to grow alongside the organizations we serve, remaining a steadfast partner in financial excellence. Our story is inextricably linked to yours, and I am honored to play a part in strengthening the operations that drive greater impact.

Meet the Team
Cheyanne Patterson | Founder
I am the founder of Faith Financial Solutions, offering over a decade of experience in accounting, auditing, and financial operations across public, corporate, and nonprofit sectors. I currently lead district accounting operations for Decatur Public Schools, overseeing multimillion-dollar budgets, ISBE reporting, internal controls, and financial audits. I hold a Master of Science in Accounting from Western Governors University and am currently pursuing my Chief School Business Official (CSBO) endorsement at Illinois State University, with expected completion in Summer 2027. In addition to my school district role, I have spent the last two years managing accounting and grant activity for a local nonprofit organization and overseeing grant funding at the district level. Through Faith Financial Solutions, I bring this combined school district and nonprofit experience to organizations that need expert support with accounting, budgeting, grant management, and audit readiness, especially during staffing transitions, backlogs, and periods of change, without having to add a permanent position.
I am committed to empowering nonprofits and schools through accurate compliance, strategic reporting, and operational excellence. My leadership ensures that Faith Financial Solutions remains a trusted partner for organizations seeking to maximize their financial impact and secure their long-term sustainability.
