Survived Enron. Now He's Franchising His Own CFO Empire

About this episode

After watching executives at public companies get walked out by HR on a random Tuesday, Dan quit corporate finance, cold-mailed 900 brochures from his house, and landed his first fractional CFO client off two callbacks out of the entire batch.

He bought a dormant consulting firm called The Strategic CFO with two clients in 2017 and grew it to 10-15 active clients, an outsourced accounting team of 28 CPAs in Mexico, and a franchise model launching nationwide where independent controllers can double their income.

He almost hung up on Rejigg's first call, but ended up using the platform to find an investor who funded the next stage of growth. A conversation about buying a small professional services business, building offshore accounting teams, and franchising a fractional CFO firm.
