Need Finance or Accounting support for your DFW team?
Need a team member who can keep up and understands the demands of growth minded ownership?
I'm here to help!

I started my national Search in March of###-###-#### The next 20 months I sent 30,000 emails, trained 75 interns (4x cohorts), and signed 4x LOIs. For one reason or another, the timing wasn't right.

To reset, refill the coffers, and continue my education, I transitioned to work Business and Corporate Development in a PE backed company. After 6 months I mapped the entire Allergy industry. 24 months after founding (12 months after my joining) we had bought up 1/3rd of the industry and transitioned from acquisition to operations. A job well done left me without much work to do..

To continue learning, and in preparation for another local search, I transitioned to Executive Placement in my hometown of DFW. Partnering with Addison Group, I'm learning the best practices of target identification, outreach, and close so I can bring these lessons back to our community and continue to sharpen the swords.

If you're looking for a Finance or Accounting professional for your team here in Texas, are in need of a professional career before, during, or after your own search, or just want to share best practices, please DM me.

I love our community and hope to continue to support through all its stages. If I can be of service, please don't hesitate to reach out.

James - did you use the interns for the outbound messaging? what KPIs did you use to keep the machine humming during your search? 30,000 emails are a ton...I've been finding out that sending too many at once gets you in a spam folder, etc. (or blacklisted). - Dave
