Outsourced SMB Chief Financial Officer I provide a clear path to growth and increased profitability for business owners. While lots of businesses have bookkeepers, or controllers and tax CPA's, all of these folks tend to focus on the past. They are compliance people, and while talented, are very uncomfortable discussing the future. My focus is getting you from where you are today to where you want to go. This level of business and financial clarity is often not present, but I love helping people get on the right path and keeping them moving forward. I have the rare combination of being able to not only be "hands on" as necessary, but can also be a strategic synthesizer of the organization's goals and financial resources. Throughout my career, I have led teams in technology services, manufacturing and nonprofit environments in reaching organizations' financial goals, and fulfilling the mission and vision of each organization that I assist.
