Always contact the Project finance role (Senior Finance Advisor) when developing a budget for a project proposal. They will support you in aligning the budget with the grantor/client needs, project needs, and Sonder needs. Please refer to this touchpoint map to remember important ways to engage with Sonder’s Financial, Operations & Organisation circle.
