Fractional CFO, Founder True North CFO's
With 23 years of executive and board experience building my own company into a regional organization and selling it in 2002, I bring a founder's realism and an operator's discipline to every engagement. Since then, I've partnered with Private Equity Groups, Independent Sponsors, and Small-to-Mid-Cap companies in President and CFO roles, leading portfolio businesses through growth, operational improvement, value creation, M&A financial support.
Today, my focus includes delivering transaction-focused Quality of Earnings work that goes far beyond the expensive checklist-style, historical only look, compliance-driven reviews of a CPA firm. We concentrate on the strategic, operational, and cash-flow insights that truly determine value and company continuance. This focus help deals move forward with clarity and confidence.
I help owners and investors strengthen financial understanding, prepare for transactions, and build the capabilities needed to scale. My goal is simple: translate real world experience into practical, strategic financial leadership that accelerates performance and maximizes enterprise value.
