Senior program manager with 15+ years running ERP, CRM, and HCM implementations. I've delivered complex programs across Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP, CRM and HCM in addition to Salesforce, HubSpot, IFS Cloud and more!
What sets me apart from typical program managers: I'm hands-on. I can run your program at the executive level, and I can also configure the system, write the requirements, or architect the solution. Business and technical, both fluent.
Work I take on:
1. End-to-end ERP, CRM, and HCM implementations as Senior Program Manager or Senior PM
Solution Architecture and Senior BA engagements
2. Mid-project rescues when implementations are off the rails
3. Fractional program management for companies that need senior leadership without a full-time hire
4. ERP vendor selection, scoping, and estimation advisory
What I bring:
1. 15+ years in the trenches, not just managing calendars
2. Ability to translate between business stakeholders and technical teams
3. Direct, honest communication with no consultant hedging
4. Strong writing: SOWs, requirements, business cases, executive updates
5. Real deliverables you can use, not slide-ware
Expert-Vetted on Upwork, 100% job success and a Master's in Project Management.
Based in Saint Paul, MN. Available for remote engagements globally, comfortable across US and international time zones.
If you're evaluating an ERP, CRM or HCM decision, running an implementation that's stalling, or need senior leadership on a program without a full-time hire, send me a message. Happy to talk through what you're working on and see if there's a fit.

ChatGPT can give you quick answers but not long-term complex & strategic solutions. Need more than a band-aid? You need a finance partner who can help you understand the numbers, make better decisions, improve profitability, and confidently plan what comes next.
I provide hands-on Fractional CFO, FP&A, financial modeling, cash flow, and strategic finance support to startups and small-to-mid-sized businesses that need experienced financial leadership without the cost of a full-time CFO.
I bring 15+ years of financial management experience spanning Fortune 500 companies and growing businesses, along with an MBA in Finance from the University of Florida. My background includes managing and supporting multi-billion-dollar businesses, complex capital investments, ecommerce and retail operations, real estate development, energy projects, and high-growth companies.
My clients don't hire me simply to prepare another spreadsheet or financial model. They hire me to help answer the questions that actually matter:
• Why aren't we as profitable as we should be?
• Where is our cash going?
• How much cash will we need over the next 6–12 months?
• Can we afford to hire, expand, invest, or take on more debt?
• Which products, customers, locations, or projects are actually making money?
• Are our margins improving or deteriorating?
• What KPIs should management be watching?
• What does the business look like under different growth scenarios?
• Is this investment or project financially attractive?
• How do we turn our accounting data into better business decisions?
HOW I CAN HELP
Fractional CFO & Strategic Finance
• Fractional CFO leadership
• Financial strategy and decision support
• Profitability and margin improvement
• Management reporting and financial reviews
• KPI development and performance management
• Growth and expansion planning
• Executive and management financial support
FP&A | Budgeting | Forecasting

• Rolling forecasts
• Revenue and expense forecasting
• Budget vs. actual analysis
• Scenario and sensitivity analysis
• Monthly business performance reviews
• Department, product, customer and location profitability
Cash Flow & Financial Management
• 13-week and long-range cash flow forecasting
• Liquidity planning
• Working capital analysis
• Cash burn and runway analysis
• Debt analysis and consolidation
• Cash flow optimization
• Financial process improvement
Financial Modeling & Investment Analysis
• Financial projections and proformas
• DCF models
• ROI, IRR, NPV and payback analysis
• Capital investment analysis
• Project finance models
• Acquisition and investment due diligence
• Risk/reward and sensitivity analysis
Accounting & Financial Reporting Oversight
• P&L, balance sheet and cash flow review

• Coordination with bookkeepers, accountants and CPAs
INDUSTRIES I UNDERSTAND
My experience spans:
Ecommerce & Retail | Startups | Real Estate | Energy & Renewables | Data Centers | Construction & Development | Aerospace | Financial Services | Professional Services
I have supported businesses ranging from entrepreneurial companies to major Fortune 500 organizations.
That combination matters.
I understand the financial discipline expected inside a large corporation—but I also understand that an entrepreneur doesn't need corporate bureaucracy. You need clear answers, practical recommendations, responsive support, and someone who understands how financial decisions affect the real business.
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME
My approach is collaborative and hands-on.
I don't simply send reports and leave you to interpret them. I dig into the business, understand what is driving the numbers, identify risks and opportunities, and translate the analysis into clear actions management can actually take.
Depending on your needs, I can work as:
Your Fractional CFO — ongoing senior financial leadership
Your FP&A Partner — budgeting, forecasting, KPIs and performance analysis
Your Financial Modeler — projections, investment models, valuations and scenario analysis
Your Strategic Finance Advisor — helping evaluate major business, capital and growth decisions
Or I can step in for a specific financial project when you need experienced support quickly.
NEED A FINANCE PARTNER WHO THINKS LIKE AN OWNER?
Whether you need a Fractional CFO, an FP&A expert, a sophisticated financial model, or simply an experienced finance professional to help you work through an important decision, I'd be happy to learn about your business.
Send me a message with a little context about your business, the financial challenge you're facing, and what you're trying to accomplish.
I'll tell you how I would approach it.

I believe the best support gives you one less thing to think about.
If you’ve ever ended the day wondering…
❓ “Did I reply to that client?”
❓ “What am I forgetting?”
You shouldn’t have to carry every detail by yourself.
For the past 3+ years, I’ve helped founders and small business owners keep projects moving, improve workflows, support marketing, document processes, and handle the day-to-day details that keep a business running.
My goal isn’t just to complete tasks.
It’s to become someone you trust to handle them.
🤝 What You Can Expect
✔️ Clear communication before you have to ask.
✔️ Someone who thinks ahead—not just checks boxes.
✔️ Ownership instead of constant reminders.
✔️ Consistent follow-through.
✔️ A partner who genuinely cares about making your business easier to run.
[ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - “Katherine understands the why behind every task and thinks three to five steps ahead without being asked.” ]
— Simone Little
⚙️ Here’s Where I Can Help
Operations: Keeping projects moving | SOP creation & process documentation | Workflow automation with AI | Hiring coordination
Executive Support: Inbox & calendar management | Client communication & follow-up | Research & administrative support
Marketing Support: Social media scheduling | Content organization | CRM management
💻 Tools I Use Regularly: Asana • ClickUp • Notion • Dubsado • HoneyBook • Canva • Kit • Mailchimp • Zapier • N8N • Slack • Zoom • Google Workspace
A Quick Note: Most of my work has come through referrals and long-term client relationships outside of Upwork, which is why my profile here is still growing.
What isn’t new is the trust my clients place in me.
One client summed it up perfectly:
[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: “I trust her deeply, and my business is stronger because of her.”
— Simone Little]
If you’re looking for someone who takes ownership, communicates clearly, and helps your business feel lighter, not heavier.....I’d love to connect.
