CFO services for the emerging business.

We help you make better financial decisions.

We create the infrastructure that gives you the information you need, when you need it.  We call this “the basics.”  Once you have the basics in place, you have the means to define strategies which will achieve your goals. You will be able to determine whether your strategy implementation is on track and you will be able to identify obstacles before it is too late to take corrective actions. ​ We serve both passionate entrepreneurs and private equity portfolio companies.  We have a concentration in metal fabrication and machining, food processing and general contracting.

What makes us different?

A partner of the public accounting firm that works with one of our clients recently said to us, “You guys really get into the details. Your competitors don’t do that.”  Our clients typically have limited staff and they usually need a lot of help.  We hop right in and get into the details.

We come in quickly and assess where you are and what needs to be done. We know where to go next, and we know how to get there. The whole time, we focus on improving your fundamentals, and we work with the rest of the management team on strategic issues as though we’ve been on your team for years. Where most new hires take a long time to get up to speed, we make meaningful contributions from the start.

What do our clients say about us?

“Chris and the Kessler team have been an invaluable element of our management team.  They were instrumental in acquiring another company, and in the integration.  They bring valuable experience and have leveraged it to help us manage our companies more profitably. We run our companies really lean to manage fixed cost and the part-time CFO/Controller team is ideal for us.”
