Corporate finance &
accounting
Twenty-two years with Cadmus Communications, Prentice-Hall,
Sterling Software and Gulf+Western Corporation.
Business owner/operator
Seven years owning and running a laundry/drycleaner
(clothes, not money) and a real estate agency. Most valuable lesson learned: accounting is a lot more relevant when you generate
every dime yourself.
Fiscal Control
I've been providing interim CFO services for small and mid-sized firms—and
a few huge ones—since 1994. I help my clients ferret out embezzlers, find new revenue, look realistically at profitability,
productivity, and the best way to manage them, calculate what it really costs to get and keep a customer (this is often an
eye-opener), bring structure and leadership to accounting teams,
and serve as a reliable right
hand for CFOs juggling multiple projects and priorities.
My clients include start-ups, companies in the midst of—or gathering momentum for—a growth spurt,
and mature organizations preparing for audits, acquisitions or reorganization. On the whole, they're business-to-business
firms with a strong technology component.
