CFO Navigator

Taking your business to the next level requires moving beyond bookkeeping and simply counting to using your numbers to actively navigate your business.

CFO Navigator guides organizations that are not ready for a full-time financial professional, but need more strategic insight. CFO Navigator offers a powerful combination of financial insight and business foresight that simplify the numbers, clarify what is important and communicate – in plain English – which ones to watch to navigate the business and make better decisions.

CFO Navigator focuses on helping companies that have outgrown their current financial capabilities and are ready to use their numbers to navigate the business and not just keep score.

CFO Navigator designs and builds scalable financial capabilities, knows the numbers inside and out, provides confidence that they are right, interprets what they mean, and communicates what’s important; and when the time comes, will turn over the helm to a full-time CFO.

CFO Navigator offers business owners an expert sounding board with an experienced outside perspective for assessing business opportunities and obstacles.
