Chief Financial Officer

Cartegraph

Revamped the finance and accounting function for a successful exit to private equity.

Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Provided finance and operational leadership to US subsidiary of German-based RIB Group – a leading global provider of ERP software solutions to the construction industry. Responsibilities include all aspects of finance, accounting, tax, treasury, human resources, research and development, services, and support. Hired to bring structure and process improvements to functional areas and execute US and Canadian expansion plan.

Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Pinnacle Airlines Corp.

While Director of FP&A at Pinnacle Airlines Corp., Ben implemented an improved FP&A structure and process to support a rapidly growing organization.  Within his first year, he sourced and implemented a new planning and reporting system to move away from an offline, Excel-based system.  Through this technology and process redesign, his team reduced Pinnacle’s annual budget season from three to two month and introduced a detailed, monthly forecasting package.  Other improvements included new management performance reporting through monthly close packages, leading to earlier corrective action of operating variances.  With better data and analysis, his team created a new cost and revenue allocation system to determine profitability by product line and a more sophisticated process to bid on RFP’s.  Ben also developed Pinnacle’s first external finance training course in partnership with the University of Memphis.

Director, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)

A.D.A.M., Inc.

As the first financial planning and analysis hire, Ben created many "firsts."  This included a weekly revenue forecast for the CEO using bookings data while applying software revenue recognition standards and a complex financial statement forecasting model.  Ben partnered with product managers on investment decision analysis and product pricing reviews to align R&D and related operating expenses with projected product revenues.  He also decoded customer pricing plans from a previously off-shored process.

Manager, FP&A

The SaaS CFO | The #1 source for SaaS finance education. Video lessons, content, templates, and communities to accelerate your SaaS and career.

WHAT I DO:  I help SaaS companies via fractional SaaS CFO services, coaching, and courses in SaaS metrics and finance.  I help companies achieve financial improvement and transparency via a SaaS finance framework that links operations to finance.

WHO I HELP:  I help SaaS founders, finance/accounting, and investors.

WHY IT WORKS:  Translating the operational story into consumable numbers is the key to driving corporate performance and understanding the economics of SaaS businesses.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT: From debits and credits to financial forecasting to M&A, my experience has not just been silo’ed in the accounting or finance track, but both sides of the desk.  My operations background at several airlines has improved my ability to translate operational performance into improved financial understanding and foresight. My on-the-job experience as a SaaS CFO has allowed me to help thousands of SaaS founders and finance teams.
