Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Hi everyone,

In my time in between CFO'ing for several startups, I like to take on project work in the startup realm. Usually it's putting together term sheets, valuations, financial analysis, etc. In the past though what I really enjoyed most was helping a startup go from 0 to 100 by working with them to create an investor quality full package - business plan, financial model, Powerpoint presentation and 1-2 page executive summary. Something to benchmark your company against, as well as something to demonstrate to potential investors as well as potential partners & employees you are both serious about your endeavor and have a solid, concrete plan of action.

So I'm throwing my hat in the ring - if you are a small to mid sized growing startup and need someone whose been around the block in the startup and investor world for several years to jump in and lend a hand, send an email and lets discuss.

You can learn more about me and what I've done on my site: http://www.roguecfo.com , and if you have a bit of time, check out some of my free resources on the media page, as well as my free weekly podcast: http://roguecfo.podomatic.com - 10 to 20 minute audio show where I discuss various topics of interest to entrepreneurs.

A few FAQS -

1. I do not help in the capital raising process except for companies I'm engaged with as ongoing CFO
2. Yes it does cost money to hire me as a CFO, no equity only or post funding payments :)
3. Yes I know the definition of Rogue. If you appreciate the idea of a CFO who bucks the normal conventions of a CFO who is only numbers-minded, comes on board and makes a difference, and isn't your normal suit & tie CFO, then you get it. If it's not your style, no worries just don't bother to email me and let me know why you aren't interested.
4. Yes if you have materials already and just need someone to review them to make sure they make the investor grade, happy to do that as well.

Hope to hear from all those amazing, dynamic, world changing companies out there!
