Andrew I.
CFO | M&A Advisor
Salutations. I'm a former entrepreneur who found a passion for corporate finance after starting and selling a few businesses over the years. I've founded & lead 4 companies with 2 exits and worked with 100+ leadership teams ranging from startups to PE-backed SMBs to F500. Now, I operate as a CFO, investor, and advisor to entrepreneurs. Deep expertise in clothing brands & clothing manufacturing. I'm not the Harvard-Wharton-McKinsey-Goldman corporate guy who manages from a spreadsheet. I'm a guy with a resume built on hard success from starting and selling my own businesses, leading teams, raising capital, and advising dozens of business owners on doing the same. Some specific things I can help you with: - Financial planning & budgeting - Raising debt/equity capital - Cashflow management (incl. in a cash crisis) - Financial controls - Debt restructuring - Accounting management - Bookkeeping management - Analyzing and presenting key financial information to management & the board - Business strategy - Managing strategic objectives to completion - Operational Excellence in finance operations - Navigating the M&A process - LOI to Due Diligence to closing - Post-close integration Here's what some of my clients say about me: "Andrew has a knack for pushing the envelope and having it actually work. I watched over and over again as he brought fresh ideas and initiatives into fruition that directly translated into ROI... Andrew is a blast to work with. He's witty, hyper intelligent, and above all else, he genuinely cares about the people that are in front of and alongside him. 10/10." - President, SpeakerFlow "Working with Andrew has been a fantastic experience. I'm grateful to have him as part of the team! He brings great ideas to the table, keeps things organized, and sees his initiatives through. I would highly recommend Andrew and his partners for any project that you may have - you won't regret it!" - Senior Sales & Marketing Manager, CoolBot "Andrew is genuine. He offers information transparently, and in an accessible way - even if you don't have prior [technical] knowledge. Highly recommend Andrew and his team." - Founder & President, BELA / TCF "Andrew has developed and implemented several key projects and initiatives with our team in recent years and has simply exceeded expectations at every juncture... always with stellar results. Identify a project, talk to Andrew, and Go!" - EVP Sales & Marketing, Arctic Industries
