You started your business to run it — not to spend Sundays reconciling QuickBooks or wondering why your P&L doesn't match your bank balance. I'm a finance leader with 23+ years helping owner-operated SMBs turn messy books into clear decisions. My background includes complex, multi-department operations — country clubs, restaurants, and multi-entity hotel properties — environments where I had to make finance legible to non-finance owners. Most recently, as CFO at a flagship Colorado country club, I led an accounting remediation that identified and corrected $70,018 in prior-period errors across just two months — handicap revenue, tournament accounting, payroll accruals, and golf credit book balances that had gone unrecorded for years. The work was third-party verified by an external consulting firm. I bring that same operator-friendly approach to founder-led businesses across industries. 📊 WHAT I DO: 🔹 Fractional CFO — Cash flow forecasting, 12–13 week liquidity planning, budgeting and financial modeling, multi-year capital planning and scenario modeling, KPI dashboards in Power BI and Fathom, profitability and pricing analysis, lender and investor reporting 🔹 QuickBooks Online cleanup & ongoing bookkeeping — Catch-up bookkeeping, chart of accounts redesign, full balance sheet reconciliations, AP/AR workflow setup, month-end close 🔹 AI-assisted AP automation — I build AI-driven AP workflows that cut processing time and reduce payroll cost on routine bookkeeping operations 📈 RECENT RESULTS: ✅ Identified and corrected $70,018 in prior-period errors during a 5-week accounting remediation at a flagship Colorado country club — third-party verified ✅ Built a 5-year capital cash flow model that became the framework for board-level capital funding and multi-year reserve allocation decisions ✅ Cleaned multi-year QBO backlog (2023–2025) for a trust company, recovering thousands in misclassified entries and restoring audit-ready records ✅ Automated AP workflows using AI tooling, reducing payroll cost on routine bookkeeping operations ✅ Untangled commingled cash by designing a segregated bank account structure across operating, payroll, debt service, and capital accounts 💡 WHY OWNERS-OPERATORS HIRE ME: You don't want a CFO who emails you a 40-tab spreadsheet. You want one who looks at your P&L and tells you what to do next week. After 23 years across hospitality, food service, multi-entity operations, and fiduciary environments, I've learned the highest-value work isn't the modeling — it's translating finance into operator decisions: pricing, hiring, when to take a draw, whether that new location is actually profitable. 🛠 TOOLS: QuickBooks Online (advanced), Power BI, Fathom, Excel, AI-assisted AP automation If you're an owner-operator tired of guessing at your numbers, send me a message describing your business and what's keeping you up at night. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
