ABOUT

I have spent the last 35 years developing and growing my financial and business knowledge and
skills. Now I want to help you by leveraging my ability and knowledge to grow your business and achieve the success you envision.

My experience as a hands-on, detail oriented financial and business advisor as well as a CFO
and Senior executive / Board member helped define my strategic business development, critical
thinking, change and process management skills, and success leading high-performing teams.  

At this point in my career I want to take pride in helping you and passing along some of the
wisdom so many others have provided to me along my journey.

Whether you are a start-up company with a great idea but lacking the financial process know
how or a mature industry leader that just needs some additional fire power, I can help you get
started or reach the summit.

Rich and I have worked closely together over the last couple of years as we guided Revera Canada through significant strategic change while growing the business in the post pandemic landscape. As President of Revera Canada it was critical to have a strong financial advisor and confidante to work through the many challenging issues we experienced daily.
Rich played a critical role in developing and building the financial framework to support the company. Perhaps the most impactful initiative involved satisfying the overall planning, forecasting and reporting needs of the business and serving as a primary financial advisor for the senior leadership team.
While Rich’s financial knowledge is beyond reproach, his kindness and compassion for his team and colleagues is what sets him apart from many of his peers.
 
 JP CADEAU, PRESIDENT REVERA CANADA
