Hire me as your fractional, interim, project, or full-time CFO and COO. I bring both the finance and the operations lens, so the money plan and the build plan move together, and I work shoulder to shoulder with your board, owners, and team. Pick the situation you are in below and move the model. You will see exactly how I help before you ever talk to me.
200+ employees led · $100M refinanced · ~$300M in capital projects planned and financed
The switchboard
Nine spots I get called for. Open the one that fits, move the model with real math, and see the exact CFO and COO moves I would run. Only one opens at a time.
One operator, both seats
The moves you saw inside each situation come from one person holding both jobs. Here is the full scope, side by side.
I run the capital, the cash, and the reporting that lenders, boards, and owners trust.
I run the operation, the facilities, and the capital projects that turn the plan into revenue.
Most fractional help gives you one of these. I give you both, from one head, so nothing falls in the gap between finance and operations.
Completed work
Anonymized and time-boxed. Client names stay private. Same operator behind each one.
Tighter finance discipline and a rebuilt operating model carried a mission-driven nonprofit from a deep operating deficit to a healthy surplus, its first time in the black in over a decade.
I consolidated and refinanced scattered debt into a single facility, rebuilt covenant and lender reporting, and ran daily cash across the entities so the group stopped fighting its own balance sheet.
I freed capital from idle infrastructure and built a factory-direct fleet cycling plan that kept operations running through vehicle inventory shortages, while phasing replacements year over year.
How to hire me
Short contract or long haul, I flex to the work in front of you.
Part-time, steady. I hold the CFO and COO line month over month without a full-time seat on your books.
Full coverage when a seat goes empty. I step in quickly and keep finance and operations moving.
One outcome, one timeline. A refinance, a system conversion, a capital build, a turnaround.
When it should be permanent, I will take the chair for the long term.
If you opened a situation above, its numbers come with you into this brief. I read every one of these myself and I will tell you plainly whether I am the right hire.
