“I saw a need that many growing entrepreneurial companies would benefit from “big business” strategies but many are not in a position to pay “big business” salaries. That was the impetus by which I founded Avenue CFO Services.” Nan

Prior to founding Avenue CFO, Nan held positions as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Controller for various companies ranging from $2 billion in sales to startups.Further, Nan has been involved in mergers and acquisitions, leading the due diligence teams for acquisitions and pitching buyers/investors for divestitures.

OUR CORE VALUES

Honesty – Numbers don’t lie. We like that.

Clarity – This is too important to be unsure.

Courage – Looking at the heart of your business isn’t always easy.

Openness – No matter what the numbers tell us, we inform you.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to lift up every organization we work with both financially and emotionally. We understand the toll that fiscal issues can take on the company and the CEO.

Nan saw a need that many growing entrepreneurial companies would benefit from “big business” strategies but many are not in a position to pay “big business” salaries. That was the impetus for which she founded Avenue CFO Services.

Avenue has found a way to serve the needs of businesses that have a real need for a CFO but are either not ready to employ a seasoned CFO on a full-time basis, ones that need to turn around the business or ones that need a strategic partner to help identify the right path forward.

OUR COMFORT ZONE

Businesses that match our intended target are those that want to maximize cash flow and improve profits. We have served startups and businesses at various stages of their growth including businesses with revenues ranging from $1 million to $75 million in annual sales. As such, Avenue CFO’s functions as a strategic partner to the CEO and senior management team for their clients. Services to client companies may be in the oversight of the financial team or working with the management teams and their support staff to identify ways to increase profitability, provide analysis to Board of Director members, help raise capital, support sales and marketing and other projects. Clients have been private-equity funded portfolio companies, owner-operated and publicly held companies.

REVENUE SWEET SPOT

A good fit for us is companies with annual revenue in excess of $1M, ones with aggressive plans for growth, and companies looking to fully grasp their financial status.
