What attracted you to FocusCFO?
I have passion for building businesses. One of the aspects I really enjoyed with my prior business was building consulting relationships with the owners of the many small to mid size firms we served, understanding their unique business models & objectives, and providing guidance with growth and scalability. With FocusCFO I saw the opportunity to rekindle that same passion and enjoyment. To develop relationships with business owners and help them achieve their financial objectives.
