Miriam Valle has been working with DurhamCares since 2017 and has been a complete game-changer. She and her team are knowledgeable about all the components of running a non-profit organization: operations, budgeting, accounting, bookkeeping, program development, fundraising, evaluation. She is an excellent communicator who listens to understand and strives for clarity. She’s a team player who has been pivotal in creating a friendly, positive, and productive culture in our organization. She has a huge heart for making our community the best it can be for everyone.

Miriam Valle manages all of our financial operations at the Durham Literacy Center (DLC) with the utmost integrity and professionalism. Her responsibilities include payroll processing, financial reporting, and managing compliance for multiple grant and contract budgets. Thanks to her entrepreneurial spirit and initiative, Miriam has helped secure and manage other non-profit partners —through her consulting firm, MV Non-Profit Management, a testament to her skill, drive and resilience.
Beyond her role in finance, Miriam extends herself far beyond her job description. She actively supports our fundraising efforts and recently served as a guest speaker at our annual event, inspiring our community by sharing her personal journey from student to successful professional. Her story embodies hope and the transformative power of education, and she is a shining example for our students.

I have worked alongside Miriam on various projects over the last 11 years. Her skills and knowledge of the non-profit space are both exceptional. I feel confident bringing her into contract work or partnership conversations and her steady, thorough, and consistent way of approaching work, always serves both the organizations and the communities they serve well.

Miriam Valle of Miriam Valle Consulting provides much needed professional services to the non-profit community in Durham. She and her skilled staff handle critical back office support so that non-profit staff and boards can focus on their mission. I have contracted with Miriam Valle Consulting in a variety of capacities that include budgeting and forecasting, managing bookkeeping and Quickbooks files, payroll and human resources documentation, tracking donor records in our CRM, and more.
Miriam and her staff are responsive and adaptive to their clients' needs, which is especially helpful in the current changing non-profit climate. Miriam anticipates and identifies gaps and offers support, sometimes when I, as Executive Director, didn't even realize something was amiss. A common refrain from Miriam is "Would it be helpful if MV Consulting takes care of XYZ for you?" Knowing that Miriam has my back and that my organization's operations are in order enable me to lead with confidence.

When I joined the DCIA team in 2022, Miriam Valle had already been working with our organization for years. She not only continued being a reliable partner in bookkeeping and accounting for our organization, but she also taught me about many of the intricacies of bookkeeping and non-profit finances that my education had not covered. She communicates clearly and pivots when needed. Her team is always ready to help, timely, and deeply cares about the non-profits they work with. They even facilitate networking and collaboration between organizations when appropriate. We could not achieve what we do as an organization without Miriam and her team.
