About
I bring a unique blend of financial expertise, strategic insight, and human-centered leadership to small and mid-sized business owners who are seeking sustainable growth and value creation. With decades of experience managing multi-billion-dollar budgets and driving impactful financial strategies, I have a proven track record of helping businesses navigate complex challenges.
As a former Chief Financial Officer for an international firm, I saved millions during COVID-19 by renegotiating contracts and optimizing operations—all while ensuring business continuity. My ability to align financial strategies with business goals has empowered organizations to thrive, even in uncertain times.
Being a West Point graduate with an MBA from Columbia, I combine disciplined leadership with a deep understanding of the financial and operational hurdles that SMBs face. I am passionate about building lasting, transferable value for businesses, whether through innovative cost-saving measures, strategic acquisitions, or performance-driven financial planning. My approachable style and commitment to mental wellness make me a trusted partner for business owners looking to grow with confidence and clarity.

Working with FocusCFO and Omar Ritter was a game-changer for us. On his very first day, Omar jumped right in—helping us create a clear, realistic budget that aligned with our organization's goals. He didn’t waste any time, rolling up his sleeves and contributing valuable insights at our leadership offsite that same day. Omar brings both expertise and a proper partnership approach—I couldn’t imagine a smoother start!
