    🏆 "Highly recommended A+++” I help business leaders and teams to define and achieve their business financial goals. We do this with CFO Reviewed Financials™ to develop plans and review progress. 🔜 Message me to discuss your project/needs. As a consulting CFO who offers fractional CFO retainer options, I focus on building and implementing financial models/plans that guide business leaders in growing their business, and I provide support as needed. Most often, I help to: 1⃣ secure funding, 2⃣ grow efficiently, and 3⃣ engineer an exit. ▶️ We start with CFO Reviewed Financials™, where I analyze up to 60 months of the company’s income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows. If available, we compare the results against previous forecasts and budgets. Next, I record my observations and generate visualizations of the data. From this, I prepare a report sharing my key insights and recommendations, including key performance indicators as appropriate. To help achieve your business financial goals, we meet monthly to discuss your CFO Reviewed Financials™, new opportunities, and other developments; and to determine the proper changes to implement. To help define and track progress against these goals, I build a Comprehensive Financial Model™ to develop forecasts and adopt them as budgets. All of this is tracked in your customized Financial Management Plan. My successes include: ✔ Secured $1 million pre-seed funding and co-founded innovation platform Ideator. ✔ Secured $500k seed round for medtech software startup 4D Healthware. ✔ Built the first financial model that enabled a healthcare payments company to raise $29.3 million in venture capital over four funding rounds. ✔ Built the first financial model and supported negotiations for $1 million growth funding for an NIH backed biotech startup. ✔ Developed and landed supply chain funding strategies for adtech startup Promo Drone. ✔ Expanded multinational commercialization and closed $10 million seed funding for fintech Paybook/Syncfy. ✔ Led the capital raise process to secure $20 million in expansion funding for 3D printer manufacturer UNIZ Technology. ✔ Turned around the financial operations and recalibrated growth for digital marketing agency O8. ✔ Turned around the North American distribution of CITIZEN® brand calculators from a $1.5 million loss to a $500,000 profit. ✔ Restructured corporate financing and increased net profit margin by 9%, ROA by 1%, and ROE by 11% for medical device distributor CITIZEN Healthcare. ✔ Improved financial reporting, planning, and analysis for a $15 million real estate services firm. ✔ Improved financial reporting, planning, and analysis for nationwide restoration services company HomeCleanse. ✔ Corrected financial reporting for a $130 million international distributor of consumer products. ✔ Strengthened financial management and led a $10 million private equity owned consumer products brand to profitability. ✔ Overhauled financial reporting and led a tax-free reorganization to save more than $250k in taxes and professional fees for a $25 million global ecommerce company. ✔ Cured statutory deficiencies and flipped a Swiss regulated payments company into a new US holding company. ✔ Established financial systems and supported the negotiation and sale of a telehealth startup for $5 million plus contracts. ✔ Built the financial model that enabled the IPO for American Brewing Company. ✔ Built the financial model and supported negotiations for the sale of an insurtech startup to a nationwide law firm. 🏆 “Jeremy is one of the best professionals I’ve ever worked with.
