What attracted you to FocusCFO?
I have worked with small to medium sized companies ($1M-$10M) in the Consulting Industry for the past few years, helping to improve their financial performance. The model was a single client engagement that would end after a few months. I truly enjoyed becoming part of my client’s management team but felt a sense of loss when the engagement ended. The FocusCFO model I find to be a better model, where we become part of our client’s management team on an ongoing basis. The ability to help clients improve their company’s financial performance on an ongoing basis, over a number of years, I expect will be much more personally rewarding. In this regard, the FocusCFO model is much more likely to ensure our client’s long term success.
