What attracted you to FocusCFO?

I was attracted to FocusCFO because of its mission to help small business owners by focusing on strategic elements that add value.

Many business owners create incredible products and services but feel overwhelmed by the numbers. If I can help them develop achievable plans and have those "lightbulb moments," that truly excites me.
