As a consulting CFO, I am both the right and left hands to businesses, keeping a company on course, with financial strategies and information. I keep businesses in good health like a “family doctor” as a liaison to professional advisors, management and employees. I serve sm
all to midsized businesses, family offices, and non-profit organizations. With more than 30 years of diverse financial experience, I can protect, strengthen and advance an organization. I have been a financial executive in various industries both domestic and international.
“Left Hand” - Advising for the PRESENT: I highlight key information for leaders to review, strategize and execute. I provide oversight to accounting, finance, HR and IT functions. I diagnose and cure what’s ailing a company with my objective perspectives. As a liaison, coordinator, and collaborator, I work with all your key advisors.
“Right Hand” - Navigating to the FUTURE: By working within your system, we develop strategies to increase cash, sales, and profitability, all the while preparing the business for exit when appropriate.
“Financial Fireman”- Correcting the PAST: For cash flow issues, late tax returns, messy books and audits, I roll up my sleeves as a hands-on CFO. I transform financial disorder to order, moving your business to the next level. I worked for a $12 billion mutual fund company, owned by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein. As a Senior Vice President at Wells Fargo, I built and managed the national Financial Administration practice, serving wealthy individuals with at least $100 million net worth. I have Big 4 CPA experience with PriceWaterhouseCoopers. For 10 years, I have been an independent CFO and consultant.
