What attracted you to FocusCFO?
I’m truly excited everyday about the opportunity to “talk business” with entrepreneurs and executives and help them achieve their goals.
Expertise, commitment to helping small and mid-sized organizations and teamwork. These are terms often thrown around, but I love working at FocusCFO because it’s reality. Our CFO’s are unmatched both in their skill levels as well as their ability to work with clients on a part-time basis. It’s seeing being an advisor and seeing the complete forest while also being able to get their hands dirty on the daily detail as needed. I don’t know a single person in the company that puts themselves before our clients, often going beyond agreed upon terms to make sure they’re successful or one of their partners clients are successful. I sleep at night when our clients can sleep at night.
