As an Interim CFO, I work with CEO’s and Senior Executives of mid-sized and family-owned organizations who recognize the importance of transforming their financial systems to address today’s needs and those of the future.Financial reporting can be onerous. Without it, we can’t manage the business. With ongoing changes to regulatory requirements, and the evolution of management reporting imperatives, systems are often “patched” along the way until they become unruly and difficult to navigate.Nobody intends for their systems to become disjointed or outdated. I specialize in identifying the gaps and working with your people to reduce their pain. Let me help you evolve your systems and equip your people to address ongoing critical business needs, while increasing efficiency and morale.
