In this episode, I’m thrilled to be joined by @Manny Skevofilax, the Owner of @Portal CFO Consulting a consultancy that Manny has been operating for over 20 years with a mission to help business owners make more money by successfully navigating the challenges of growing their businesses profitably.
In this conversation, my first with another fractional CFO, the tables are turned and Manny and I discuss his journey from restaurateur, through to Corporate Banker and now to Fractional CFO.
🌟 Some of my favourite parts were:
✅ Manny’s family background and how his parent’s experiences helped shape Manny’s own professional journey;
✅ How Manny’s first career as a restaurateur helped shape his views on cash and subsequent advice as a Fractional CFO;
✅ The importance and grounding that continuous learning provided Manny – most notably how to think about credit risk and analyse a financial statement;
✅ On the contrary though, how successful billionaire business owners dismissed complex financial calculations and relied on simplicity to keep everyone rowing in the same direction;
✅ How small business owners can be resistant to change but through gentle education and helping clients improve their profits, Manny has been able to work with some clients for upwards of 20 years.
