Embed by Ry helps small orgs get out of the busywork and back to the cause. We tidy the tools and everyday workflows your team runs on, so your people work better and win back hours, with reporting your funders trust.
The systems are the how, never the point. Tidy tools and workflows mean calmer staff, far more time for the work that matters most, and reporting you can stand behind.
Hand the repetitive admin to systems that handle it, so your people get back to programs, services and the cause they came for.
Answer any question about your impact in minutes, and know the answer is right. Reporting that builds confidence and keeps the funding coming.
No more hunting across a hundred tabs. Your information lives in one home, and anyone on the team can put their hands on it.
When someone leaves, the systems stay. New starters get up to speed in days, and you stop paying to relearn the same things twice.
Get on the front foot of the risks. Careful handling of your community's information, with clear guardrails for AI, so you protect your people and your reputation.
Free your most passionate people from the systems admin they never asked for, from the master spreadsheet to the Zaps nobody else can touch.
Drag the sliders to your own situation. This is roughly what manual admin is costing you every year.
A rough guide based on the numbers you enter, using a 46-week year, a conservative 40% reclaim, and a typical project from $8,000. Your real figures will vary, and we'll work them out properly together.
Audit, Build, Embed, Report. We take the tangle in and send one clean line out, right through to the report your funders read. We take the change off your plate and bring your whole team with us. Embed is the part most consultants skip. Report is where all that tidy work finally shows.
We map your systems, data and workflows and show you exactly what to fix first. It starts with a Foundations Audit →
We set up and connect the systems, data and automations, built around how your team actually works.
We train everyone, share the skills, and take the change off your plate, staying until the new way is just how things are done. This is the part most consultants skip. It's the part we're named for.
Impact reports, annual reports, funder and community updates, pulled straight from the systems we just tidied. See how reporting works →
Every build connects the tools you already pay for, Zapier included, before adding anything new. Take the one that fits, or the few your audit points to. Most teams start with their Embed daily operating system.
A simple daily rhythm your whole team feels. Speak instead of typing, get clean first drafts and summaries in seconds, and see the day's work in one shared place, pulled together by a short morning brief. Everyone starts the day clear and ends it with less admin. See the full package →
The busywork runs itself. We connect your tools so information stops being copied by hand between forms, inboxes and spreadsheets. Fewer mistakes, and hours handed back every week.
Optional. Your processes and know-how gathered in one place the team can actually search, so good work survives busy weeks and people moving on.
We work with impact-driven teams, from nonprofits to purpose-led businesses, and we know this world well.
Every engagement ends with a receipt: the hours we removed, itemised from your own systems. It feels so good to know your numbers.
"Pulling our impact numbers used to take a week. Now it's an afternoon, and the report goes to funders with total confidence. That's changed how they see us."
"Our coordinator had quietly become our IT department. embed gave her back about a day a week, and gave the rest of us systems we could actually run."
"When two staff left, nothing fell over for once. Everything was set up so the next person could just pick it up. That alone paid for the work."

Ry makes the most of their 32 hours in the day, holding multiple roles as a communications expert, social entrepreneur, writer and public speaker. Ry loves numbers, data and impact measurement as much as they love bingeing How I Met Your Mother (which is a lot).
Nobody's at a desk re-typing anything. The admin ran itself this week, and the hours it used to eat went to home visits, the food bank and getting the grant in early. That's the product. Book a 20-minute call and we'll work out where your hours are hiding, and whether we're the right fit to free them. A handful of founding clients, launch rates, close attention.
