"Helping to build businesses through personal, consultative finance."

Bob has a passion for helping to build businesses. He founded and served as CEO of CFOs2GO, which he first opened in1986. During his startin public accounting and venture capital, he discovered firsthand the importance of lookingbeyond the numbers to see the motivations and drivers that influence decisions. He observed and learned from both the successes and failures of the start-ups and companies they served, taking note of the actions of young founders and entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are a rare breed, and it is in their spirit of growth and exploration that Bob found himself drawn. During his time working with VCs, he observed the advent of the distributed workforce that produced the Consulting CFO and ultimately hatched CFOs2GO, propelling Bob into an entrepreneurial role himself.

In addition, he saw the globalization of businesses and the importance of expanding outside local borders. Each piece built upon itself and provided the building blocks for a thriving and responsive International Practice Group that Bob personally leads. This group helps foreign companies set up US offices as well as helps US companies set up foreign operations, including entities in the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, India, Singapore and Argentina. He has worked with more than 60 global companies in a range of industries, helping companies set up and maintain operations as well as attract top talent for their US team
