About

Founder of an accounting and consulting firm who scaled operations organically and through acquisition, building internal structure with employee handbooks, SOPs, and integrated time-tracking/billing plus project management systems. Acts as a fractional CFO/financial partner to small business owners, using variance and operational-metric analysis to drive decisions around process improvements, acquisitions, company sales, contracts, and benefits. Strong in change management and pragmatic tooling—replacing spreadsheet-based workflows with standardized systems and templates that improve consistency and training.

Key Strengths

  • Built and scaled an accounting/consulting firm organically and via acquisition
  • Implemented phased operational structure (policies, handbooks, SOPs) to support growth
  • Introduced time-tracking with integrated billing; later expanded to task/project management to replace spreadsheets
  • Created standardized accounting processes enabling easy client reassignment across accountants
  • Improved training consistency through standardized procedures
  • Data-driven identification of operational inefficiencies using time-to-complete benchmarks and outlier analysis
  • Root-cause analysis through observation (SOP noncompliance, manual data entry) and targeted enablement
  • Designed practical tooling (templated spreadsheets/import process) to improve productivity for less-advanced Excel users
  • Effective change management via multi-channel feedback (meetings, email, 1:1s) and transparent decision-making
  • Advises founders as a financial partner/CFO, connecting operational metrics to financial outcomes
  • Maintains clear advisory boundaries through scoped fixed-fee engagements and transparent out-of-scope billing
