Work Background
Portfolio Chief Financial Officer
The CFO Centre USAPortfolio Chief Financial Officer
Dec. 2023Chicago, Illinois, United StatesI'm passionate about helping entrepreneurs build a finance function that gives them the creative space to spend their time doing what they are best at. I work as a portfolio CFO, which means I look after several clients typically for 2-4 days a month who need the skill-set of a senior CFO but don't require a full-time resource. Before starting any new relationship, I like to understand what it is you want in both terms of your company's goals and your own goals as an entrepreneur and individual. We can then build a robust plan designed to deliver those outcomes. Whether you are looking to scale faster, prepare your business for exit, retire early, indulge your passion or spend more time with your family doing things you really enjoy, I will work with you to build the plan that enables you to fulfil your life's ambition. You can see how our unique and exciting part-time CFO model works here: www.cfocentre.com Please message me if you'd like to arrange a conversation.
