How Are We Different?

Dave has been a financial leader in the industry for over 30 years, and he has struggled to solve a wide variety of industry issues. He is focused on helping you in all operational, and financial aspects of a CFO or Controllers’s job. That includes strategy, defining metrics, forecasting, structuring, design of financial reporting, assistance in hiring consultants, leadership skills development, providing information so you can work with your CEO or board, and providing examples of how others do things. We seek to provide you with proven solutions to the industry’s common and unusual issues. We hope to not just improve one company but to help the entire industry solve key issues specific to AE Companies. Sometimes, it may just be linking you with others who have experienced similar issues. In most cases, we can help provide solutions based on our experiences.

"I have received many calls and communications from other CFOs. We want to provide a more efficient mechanism to share experiences and knowledge." - David S. Johnson
