Solution

  • Defined reporting requirements and ensured accuracy and timeliness of reporting
  • Collaborated with lenders, attorneys, owners, board, president, operations, sales, and human resources to ensure collaborative environment and flow of information and ability to address company risk
  • Provided key insights into strategic plans and key performance indicators
  • Defined key job responsibilities and the characteristics desired in hiring a new permanent CFO

ASSUMED CFO RESPONSIBILITIES AND INCREASED EBITDA FROM 5% TO 6.5% IN 6 MONTHS BY INCREASING SALES AND IMPLEMENTING VENDOR BIDDING PROCESSES.
