Fractional CFO & COO | Cash Flow, FP&A, Forecasting & Profitability

Need a CFO who's actually run a business, not just modeled one? I'm a Fractional CFO & COO with 20+ years of finance and operations leadership, combined with hands-on experience scaling my own $2M, four-location franchise portfolio. I've closed the books, run the floor, and signed the checks myself, and I bring that real-world perspective to every engagement. I don't just report the numbers. I help leadership teams make better decisions with them. I partner with founders, CEOs, ownership groups, and investors to improve cash flow, increase profitability, make better capital decisions, and build the systems that support sustainable growth. Whether you need a strategic CFO, an experienced operator, or both, I meet your business where it is and help move it forward. How I Help ► Proven results: Identified $500K in annual staffing savings for a 46-location primary care network, reduced A/R by 35% for a private-pay home health provider, and strengthened working capital for an LED manufacturer through job-level costing and a 13-week cash flow forecast. ► Strategic finance: Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), forecasting, financial modeling, capital allocation, pricing strategy, KPI dashboards, board reporting, and capital raise support. ► Cash flow & profitability: Improve margins, working capital, unit economics, and financial visibility for companies from startup through $50M in revenue. ► Operator's perspective: Built and operated a four-location franchise portfolio while serving as COO of a 120-location national franchise organization, delivering more than $1M in annual expense savings. ► Industry experience: Healthcare, manufacturing, retail, e-commerce, consumer services, and multi-location B2B and B2C businesses. ► Flexible engagements: Fractional, interim, project-based, or ongoing engagements. If you're looking for a CFO who can do more than explain the numbers, someone who can help shape the strategy behind them, let's connect. Send me a quick message or book a consultation, and let's discuss how I can help your business grow more profitably.
