About
Paul DiPronio is a fractional CFO and EOS Integrator‑minded operator who helps small and mid‑sized business owners bring order, clarity, and accountability to their organizations. He works closely with leadership teams to simplify how the business runs—aligning people, tightening processes, and creating scorecards and meeting rhythms that keep everyone rowing in the same direction. Paul has a steady, grounded style that helps teams cut through complexity, solve real issues, and build healthier, more cohesive working relationships.
With experience across distribution, construction/abatement, manufacturing, food service, office equipment, and other hands‑on industries, Paul understands the pressure owners feel when they’re stuck in the weeds or carrying too much of the business on their shoulders. He focuses on creating sustainable, transferable value by connecting financial insight with day‑to‑day execution, helping teams make better decisions and operate with confidence. Clients appreciate his approachable nature, practical guidance, and commitment to being a true partner—someone who helps the business run more smoothly, not just produce reports.
Before FocusCFO
Paul’s approach to advising business owners is rooted in decades of hands‑on operational leadership. He’s led teams through major transitions — from consolidating facilities and redesigning warehouses to integrating acquisitions and implementing ERPs — and those experiences taught him how to simplify complexity, align people, and create systems that actually work in the real world. He’s seen how clarity, structure, and the right rhythms can transform a business, and that perspective shapes how he shows up as an EOS‑minded partner today.
Working across various industries Paul has helped owners break through growth ceilings, improve cash flow, and build healthier, more accountable teams. He understands the pressure of carrying too much of the business on your shoulders, because he’s walked alongside leaders facing those same challenges. That’s why he focuses on practical tools, clear measurables, and steady guidance that help teams gain traction and build sustainable, transferable value.
