He builds strategic Finance capabilities and believes that a successful Finance function should be  forward-looking, collaborative, and offer insights and decision-support across a business.<\/p>\n<p>Sean can help you answer key business questions such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Which business segments are delivering the most value (which products, services, clients, periods, or regions)?<\/li>\n<li> Is your pricing in line with costs and competitors?<\/li>\n<li> Where should resources be allocated to boost growth and\/or profitability?<\/li>\n<li> Are you prepared for future success with plans, budgets, systems, controls, and scenario forecasts?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sean has built and managed strategic finance functions (accounting, AR\/AP, reporting, budgeting, forecasting, analytics and treasury) across a range of different industries. He works well with team members at all levels of an organization from the CEO down to junior staff members and has achieved significant success. Examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> A transportation company had high growth aspirations but utilized cash reporting and lacked critical business insights. Sean upgraded their accounting, reporting, analytics and forecasting, driving a 21% margin increase, 40% annual growth, and multiple acquisitions. He helped to take them public at a valuation of ~ $800M.<\/li>\n<li> A seasonal consumer goods company was profitable but cash constrained. Sean improved their segment reporting, analytics, and forecasting, achieving working capital efficiencies, cash improvements, 15% higher margins, and 40% annual growth. He also supported new licensing deals and category expansions.<\/li>\n<li> A multinational SaaS\/Services company lacked sufficient Finance capabilities to execute on its growth plans. Sean developed top-tier Accounting and Finance functions, renegotiated financing deals, helped boost margins by 30%+, and achieved annual revenue growth of 80%+.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you hire Sean as your B2B CFO you are getting someone who can work at both the strategic and operational levels. He brings extensive expertise alongside the resources of over 200 partners.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n\t<p><\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tI Promise\n\t<\/h3>\n\t\n<h3>\n\t\tThe Plan\n\t<\/h3>\n\t\n<h3>\n\t\tWhat Happens if We Don&#8217;t Move Forward?\n\t<\/h3>\n\t\n<h2>\n\t\tGet Started With \n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Get Your own complimentary* Discovery Analysis\u2122 from B2B CFO<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/p>\n                <form method='post' enctype='multipart\/form-data' target='gform_ajax_frame_1' id='gform_1'  action='\/templatesite\/?fl_builder#gf_1' >\n                        <ul id='gform_fields_1' class='gform_fields top_label form_sublabel_below description_below'><li id=\"field_1_1\" ><label class='gfield_label' for='input_1_1' >Name<\/label><input name='input_1' id='input_1_1' type='text' value='' class='large'   tabindex='100' placeholder='Name'  aria-invalid=\"false\"   \/> <\/li><li id=\"field_1_2\" ><label class='gfield_label' for='input_1_2' >Email<\/label>\n                            <input name='input_2' id='input_1_2' type='text' value='' class='large' tabindex='101'  placeholder='Email'  aria-invalid=\"false\"  \/>\n                        <\/li><li id=\"field_1_3\" ><label class='gfield_label' for='input_1_3' >Phone<\/label><input name='input_3' id='input_1_3' type='text' value='' class='large' tabindex='102' placeholder='Phone'  aria-invalid=\"false\"   \/><\/li><li id=\"field_1_4\" ><label class='gfield_label' for='input_1_4' >Position in Company<\/label><input name='input_4' id='input_1_4' type='text' value='' class='large'   tabindex='103' placeholder='Position in Company'  aria-invalid=\"false\"   \/> <\/li><li id=\"field_1_5\" ><label class='gfield_label' for='input_1_5' >Gross Revenue<\/label><input name='input_5' id='input_1_5' type='text' value='' class='large'   tabindex='104' placeholder='Gross Revenue'  aria-invalid=\"false\"   \/> <\/li><li id=\"field_1_6\" ><label class='gfield_label' for='input_1_6' >Zip Code<\/label><input name='input_6' id='input_1_6' type='text' value='' class='large'   tabindex='105' placeholder='Zip Code'  aria-invalid=\"false\"   \/> <\/li><li id=\"field_1_7\" ><label class='gfield_label' for='input_1_7' >CAPTCHA<\/label><\/li><\/ul>\n         <input type='submit' id='gform_submit_button_1' class='gform_button button' value='Submit' tabindex='107' onclick='if(window[\"gf_submitting_1\"]){return false;}  window[\"gf_submitting_1\"]=true;  ' onkeypress='if( event.keyCode == 13 ){ if(window[\"gf_submitting_1\"]){return false;} window[\"gf_submitting_1\"]=true;  jQuery(\"#gform_1\").trigger(\"submit\",[true]); }' \/> <input type='hidden' name='gform_ajax' value='form_id=1&amp;title=&amp;description=&amp;tabindex=100' \/>\n            <input type='hidden' class='gform_hidden' name='is_submit_1' value='1' \/>\n            <input type='hidden' class='gform_hidden' name='gform_submit' value='1' \/>\n            <input type='hidden' class='gform_hidden' name='gform_unique_id' value='' \/>\n            <input type='hidden' class='gform_hidden' name='state_1' value='WyJbXSIsIjQxYzgwZDU5Zjc1NDBhOTVhNDRmZWMzYjg1MDBjZTA3Il0=' \/>\n            <input type='hidden' class='gform_hidden' name='gform_target_page_number_1' id='gform_target_page_number_1' value='0' \/>\n            <input type='hidden' class='gform_hidden' name='gform_source_page_number_1' id='gform_source_page_number_1' value='1' \/>\n            <input type='hidden' name='gform_field_values' value='' \/>\n                        <input type=\"hidden\" id=\"ct_checkjs_bf8229696f7a3bb4700cfddef19fa23f\" name=\"ct_checkjs\" value=\"0\" \/><\/form>\n                <iframe style='display:none;width:0px;height:0px;' src='about:blank' name='gform_ajax_frame_1' id='gform_ajax_frame_1' title='This iframe contains the logic required to handle Ajax powered Gravity Forms.'><\/iframe>\n\t<p>*Complimentary for qualified business owners<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I Promise The Plan What Happens if We Don&#8217;t Move Forward?
