What attracted you to FocusCFO?

I was unaware of the fractional CFO model until I left my prior place of employment and was introduced to the concept by a Vistage President. The concept became intriguing because it allows me to remain active in the business world without committing to the full time, classical CFO role. I'm excited about working with the team in helping entrepreneurs reach the full potential of their businesses. I liken it somewhat to the thrill that came with the successful processing of coal through the preparation plan they I helped design and automate.
