Since graduating with an Associates in Theology degree from Christ for the Nations Institute in 2010, Johnna has had one foot in ministry and one foot in the financial realm. For 13 years, she has worked in accounting firms as a Quickbooks Certified ProAdvisor bookkeeper and tax preparer, while simultaneously pastoring in the local church. This unique perspective has allowed her to grow a passion for non-profits, religious or otherwise, while obtaining the knowledge and experience to navigate the full spectrum of the financial services necessary to run an organization.
In 2019, Johnna founded Cultivate Financial. With clients spanning the county, the firm has worked with a myriad of industries including: advertising, agriculture, art collectives, architecture/interior designers, aviation, catering, construction/remodeling, financial services, land development, landscaping, law firms, medical facilities, oil, real estate, and online retailers.
In the nonprofit sector, Johnna and her team find great fulfillment in helping nonprofit schools, churches, foundations, political action committees, and public charities navigate the complexities of fundraising, reporting compliance, and donor retention. Johnna served an adjunct professor at Christ for the Nations teaching leadership skills and development, and has previously sat on the board of a nonprofit.
Johnna is a life long resident of Dallas, TX, and enjoys life with her husband Bryan and her high-spirited mini-me, Emma Lou.
