Built from the operator’s seat

Financial leadership should make the business easier to run.

I’ve spent my career inside growing businesses—building accounting teams, improving reporting, implementing ERP systems, supporting fundraising and M&A, and helping companies through successful exits.

That operating experience shapes the way I work today. The goal is not to create more finance for finance’s sake. It is to build the right level of discipline, visibility and forward planning for the decisions in front of you.

McClure CFO works across SaaS and technology, manufacturing, ecommerce and other growth-oriented businesses where the financial function needs to mature without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive team.

How I work

Close to the details. Focused on the decision.

Good finance leadership connects accurate accounting, a forward view and practical advice. Each part should reinforce the others.

01 · Establish the truth

Reliable numbers first.

Clean closes, useful reporting and disciplined processes create a foundation leaders can trust.

02 · Build the forward view

See what is coming.

Forecasts, cash planning, KPIs and scenarios turn the finance function from historical recordkeeping into a management tool.

03 · Stay close to decisions

Advice in context.

I work directly with founders and leadership teams so the financial perspective is present when choices are being made—not after.

The person behind the practice

Experienced, direct and still curious.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Accounting and MBA from Eastern Washington University and am a licensed CPA. Before entering finance and accounting, I served in the U.S. Air Force.

Outside of work, I spend time with my family and work on our race car. We actively race at Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats and other top-speed events across the West—a useful reminder that preparation, measurement and calm decision-making matter at any speed.
