About the Practice

Built by an operator who's actually sat in the seat.

OpsFlow Finance exists because most fractional CFOs have never been a real CFO. The owners we serve deserve better than that.

Experience

The founder.

Twenty-five years of senior finance leadership across multi-entity manufacturing, distribution, industrial services, and construction — the same verticals this practice serves today. Most recently, interim CFO at a $200M industrial manufacturer through a full PE diligence and lending cycle. Before that, finance leadership across acquisitions, integrations, ERP migrations, and the unglamorous, high-stakes work of building a finance function that actually closes books, hits covenants, and gives owners decision-grade information.
The work that built this practice wasn’t a Big Four advisory practice. It was operating finance — sitting in the seat, owning the numbers, answering for them to lenders and boards and PE buyers. That’s the lens behind every engagement.

From the Practice

Why this exists.

Every founder running a $5M–$50M business hits the same wall. The numbers are getting more complex than the bookkeeper can handle, but the business doesn’t yet need (or can’t afford) a $250K full-time CFO. They need someone in the chair occasionally — someone who can read the balance sheet, run the working capital math, prep them for a lender meeting, and tell them honestly whether their pricing makes sense.
Most fractional CFO services market themselves to this gap. Few of them are run by people who’ve actually done the job at scale. The result: founder gets a controller-level engagement at CFO-level pricing, and walks away thinking they’ve outgrown the model when really they’ve outgrown the practitioner.
OpsFlow Finance is the practice that should exist between a bookkeeper and a full-time CFO — staffed by someone who’s been the full-time CFO. That’s the entire thesis.

Focus

Who we serve.

Owners of founder-led businesses doing $5M–$50M in revenue, primarily in:

The thread connecting these isn’t industry — it’s complexity. Multi-entity, multi-state, project-driven, working-capital-intensive businesses where the financial picture has gotten ahead of the financial function.
