Fractional CFO Support for Owner-Led Businesses

You know your business inside and out. As it scales, financial complexity can begin to outpace intuition. Revenue growth does not always translate into stronger margins or more cash, and financial statements rarely tell the whole story. I work alongside owners and leadership teams to translate the numbers into operating insight, establish the right measures, and uncover what is truly driving performance

About Deems Strategic.

Financial Leadership Built for Growing Businesses

Growth creates opportunity—but what happens when your long hours and your team’s hard work are driving real revenue without producing the cash you expected?

I founded Deems Strategic to work directly with owners and leadership teams who want better financial visibility, greater control over profitability, and the structure needed to scale with confidence.

I quickly get beneath the surface to understand how the business actually creates value, where profitability is being won or lost, and what opportunities exist to unlock cash already inside the operation.

Having worked in organizations ranging from early-stage growth companies to multi-billion-dollar enterprises—and having rolled up my sleeves to build and operate a small business myself—I bring enterprise-level financial discipline into entrepreneurial environments.

That means building practical forecasting tools, defining operating KPIs that reflect how the business truly runs, improving cash visibility, and putting the right structure in place so leadership teams can act earlier instead of reacting later.

Who I Work With.

Built for Businesses That Have Outgrown Guesswork

Owner-Led Businesses

You are still close to the operation and actively involved in the decisions that shape it.

Meaningful Revenue and Complexity

The business has moved beyond the early stages and now requires stronger financial structure and leadership.

Growing or Evolving

You may be scaling, improving profitability, adding leadership, considering an acquisition, or preparing for what comes next.

Ready for More Than Reporting

You need financial insight, forecasting, and strategy—not simply accurate books and historical reports.

Chris came into my life at exactly the right time. He didn’t just crunch numbers—he brought clarity to an incredibly difficult situation. He translated the financials into plain language I could understand, helped me see where the money was going, and showed me how to keep more of what we work so hard to earn.  For the first time, I feel confident about my numbers, my projections, and the future I’m building. If you need someone steady in your corner, Chris is your person.

More Than Reports. Ongoing Financial Leadership.

My approach to fractional CFO support is built around ongoing financial leadership—not simply reviewing reports and explaining what happened last month.

I provide a regular cadence of reporting, analysis, forecasting, and working sessions with owners and leadership teams. We look beyond the financial statements to understand what is driving performance, anticipate cash needs, and keep financial strategy connected to what is actually happening in the business.

Engagements may include:

Seasoned perspective that turns financial statements into clear operating insight, showing what drives margins, where profit is leaking, and what to do about it.

Forward-looking budgets and projections that reflect current performance, changing assumptions, and what comes next.

Ongoing strategic conversations that establish clear goals and help keep day-to-day operational leadership decisions connected to progress toward those goals.

A forward view of cash that helps you anticipate needs, avoid surprises, and operate with greater confidence.

Developing key performance indicators (KPIs) that connect day-to-day performance to progress toward our goals.

Direct access between scheduled meetings for time-sensitive issues with a response within 24 hours.

The scope and cadence are tailored to the complexity and needs of the business.
