RC MKE is a fractional CFO consultancy. I founded this company for one simple reason: most CFOs are focused on cost-saving, and I am focused on building sustained growth and increasing the shareholder value.

Contact me to discuss outreach and diligence for a merger or acquisition, and virtual CFO services such as: finance systems implementation, cash flow forecasting and management, insurance program management, and financial modeling.

Industry experience includes technology, manufacturing, distribution, logistics, medical, marketing and service.

Brewer is a medical device company that brings the most advanced and highest quality products to healthcare networks (hospitals, clinics, pharmacies) and dental offices. I was brought in to run accounting and IT, later adding the entire operations division; at the end of my tenure at Brewer, my team was more than 75 people.

Most notably during my time at Brewer, I doubled shareholder value by supporting revenue growth, completing an acquisition of a strategic partner, process improvement, and cost management. These actions resulted in top-line growth of 30% and increased profit of 187% during my tenure.

Hampel is a thermoformer of heavy-gauge plastic, whose mission is to turn customer challenges into success. A client of mine for 10 years at Baker Tilly, Hampel recruited me to lead their finance and IT divisions as Chief Financial Officer.

My main accomplishments at Hampel include: transitioning the company from a fully-funded healthcare plan to a self-funded plan, saving $500,000 in three years, and leading the refinancing of industrial revenue bonds, saving the company $300,000 over 10 years. I also worked with the executive team to implement the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS).

Baker Tilly is a leading advisory, tax and assurance firm dedicated to building long-lasting relationships, helping clients win in the short-term and anticipate tomorrow’s business needs. I was recruited straight from college and worked my way up to Senior Manager, participating in the partner training program before I realized I wanted to move to a private company.

During my 12 years in the organization, I led audits for the largest manufacturing clients and international accounts, performed due diligence on 10+ acquisitions, and worked closely with partners to develop audit teams.
