Meet the Firm

Young, growing businesses often lack the internal resources to adequately manage corporate finances, so Consult Your CFO offers Outsourced CFO and Part-Time CFO services to these firms. Engagements typically range from weekly oversight to annual reconciliation work. Larger, more established firms, often require longer engagements and utilize the Interim CFO services. Regardless of the need, founder Ken Weil and his team of CFOs and Controllers are available to help with any industry. With an average tenure of 20 years in the CFO/Controller realm, each consultant is experienced with the wide variety of business situations that require outside financial management assistance.
