Peer selection rationale
Comparable organizations are organized around the factors boards expect to see documented: field, scale, geography, and role alignment.
For boutique consultants and nonprofit law firms
Board-ready comparability reports for arts compensation advisory.
ArtMetrics Pro gives your practice a documented peer-selection workflow, editable report files, and the source trail boards need when reviewing executive compensation.
Sample deliverable
The report is the product.
The Pro page should lead with the artifact your client eventually sees: a board-facing comparability report with peer rationale, compensation benchmarks, and methodology notes. The sample PDF is the clearest proof of value.
1. Select organization
Start from the target arts organization and its available Form 990 history.
2. Review peer group
Evaluate comparable organizations by discipline, revenue, geography, and role.
3. Export report
Create a board-ready PDF and editable files for your consulting workflow.
4. Add advisory narrative
Layer in interviews, governance context, and your firm recommendation.
What the report includes
A defensible packet, not a black box.
Compensation benchmarks
Percentile tables and summary ranges give the board a practical view of where the proposed compensation sits.
Source appendix
The report keeps the data trail close to the recommendation, reducing the handwork required to support the final packet.
Methodology snapshot
Built for review by boards, counsel, and finance committees.
Pro is designed to make the comparability process easier to document, not to hide judgment behind automation.
- Public-source basis: compensation and organization data are derived from IRS Form 990 records and related nonprofit filing data.
- Peer controls: review comparable organizations by discipline, revenue band, geography, and executive role.
- Consultant override: adjust the peer set before exporting the final client deliverable.
- Editable output: export files are intended to support your firm narrative, not replace it.
ArtMetrics provides comparability data and report automation for nonprofit compensation review. It does not provide legal, tax, or accounting advice. Consultants and client boards should review final recommendations with qualified counsel or tax advisors as appropriate.
