Summary
I'm Chris Benjamin, Rogue CFO.
What is a "Rogue CFO"?
"The term "rogue" may be used to describe an independently-minded person; one who rejects conventional rules of conduct in favor of following personal values. "
I'm not your everyday CFO. Anyone who works in the startup and small business world knows that it takes a different breed of person to thrive in a high energy, high stress, high growth world. Entrepreneurs are creative people, don't you want a management team that shares the same passion, creativitiy and energy? That's my business model: think outside the box, act outside the box, and build companies that thrive.
I look forward to hearing from all the great startup & small businesses out there.
