Fractional Chief Financial Officer / CFO Consultant. I fix companies, cleaning up financials and operations; and building & implementing growth or sale transactions. The Goal: Enabling owners to focus on maximizing the business, not the back office. As a Fractional CFO, I bring over 35 years of experience as both an internal CFO and a Consultant to my work with privately held companies; building better organizations for growth; and maximizing value for a sale or re-capitalization. I specialize in strategic planning, organizational development, and accounting and finance management services for businesses. My passion is working with Owners/ CEOs/Presidents to maximize enterprise value by sharing my knowledge gained from working with start-ups, growth companies, and turnarounds for over thirty-five years. My role is to build the accounting and support functions to allow the owner to focus on the business, not the back office. For a recent client looking to sell their business, I built the financial statements, and worked with the client’s legal team and CPA, and the buyer's due diligence team to close the transaction. The result was a successful 9-figure sale for the client. My background includes companies in mortgage banking, retail, film and TV, technical services, B2B services, and light manufacturing ranging from $5 million to over $200 million in revenue. My experience encompasses working with management, boards, corporate and investment bankers, attorneys, trustees, accountants, and investors with respect to organizational growth, corporate strategy and structure, restructuring, expansion, and liquidity events. During my career, I have negotiated over $500 million in debt and equity investments, including warehouse lines of credit, and equipment financing. I have managed over $100 million in investor funds, and over $500 million in loan portfolios. I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting in 1980. I live in the San Fernando Valley with my wife and have two sons. I am a Masters swimmer, and I play at golf.
