ABOUT MIKE

I'm the Founder and Owner of Crown CFO, a premier Fractional CFO firm serving growing companies throughout Kansas City and beyond. At Crown CFO, we partner with business owners who need strategic financial leadership without the full-time commitment. Whether you're scaling operations, improving cash flow, or preparing for your next growth phase, we provide the CFO-level expertise to help you make informed financial decisions and achieve your goals. I'm particularly passionate about exit planning – helping business owners maximize their company's value and execute successful transitions when they're ready. As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor through the Exit Planning Institute, I guide owners through the complex process of preparing for and executing their exit strategy. My background includes serving as CFO for multiple companies in the Kansas City area, giving me real-world experience with the financial challenges growing businesses face daily. I earned my MBA in Entrepreneurship from Babson College, which helps me understand both the financial and entrepreneurial sides of business growth. If you're a business owner looking for strategic financial guidance or considering your exit options, I'd love to connect and explore how Crown CFO can support your journey.
