How does this work?
Are you ready to see what the next steps look like?
My fee structure depends on the scope and complexity of the project. Book a free consultation so we can discuss your specific needs. I deliver my services in one of three packages:
CFO Support or Interim CFO - allows me to work with you for a set period of time on a full or part time basis (schedule dependent)
Individual Deliverable - after understanding your needs, I deliver a specific product, a budget, business plan, margin assessment or liquidity plan
Success-Based - for the right situation, I collect my fee only once your milestone is complete, whether it be a sale of your business or acquisition and integration of another.
Hybrid - I provide dedicated attention to a project over time and provide agreed-upon deliverables
Location - I can work from my home office or your office, whether in town or out of the St Louis area
Let’s talk. I have over ten years of experience as CFO for organizations of various sizes. My rates are reasonable and my expertise comes from working with small and large companies in roles as the full-time, sitting CFO AND as contract CFO.
