Thrilled to announce that CFO's Domain has been acquired by @Solomon_Edwards to expand their Office of CFO capabilities! It’s been an incredible journey the last 7 years, from starting my own firm with my partner to navigating a global pandemic 9 months later, to growing and selling the company, I couldn’t be more excited for what lies ahead.

Grateful beyond words to our families, team, clients, and everyone who supported this journey. Couldn't have done it without you.

Every reduction announcement is also a culture announcement.

The people staying are reading every signal.

The culture that exists six months from now is being shaped by decisions that feel operational today.

They are not just operational. They are cultural.

Culture is not the office design.

Not the free lunch or the flexible Friday or the values painted on the lobby wall.

Culture is what happens when a decision is hard. When the right thing and the expedient thing are different. When a high performer is toxic to the team and leadership has to choose.

In those moments the real culture reveals itself.

You can repaint the wall. You cannot fake what happens when things get hard.

The biggest barrier to AI adoption in most companies is not budget or technology.

It is the manager in the middle who has not been given enough context to explain what is happening to their team.

When they go quiet the team fills the silence with anxiety.

Invest in that middle layer first.

The gaps in accountability can be just as revealing as the roles that exist. If a major driver of revenue or cost has no clear owner, it’s difficult to expect consistent decisions or results. The org chart is useful because it shows whether the things leadership says matter are actually reflected in how responsibility is assigned.

Show me your org chart, and I'll tell you what your company values.

Not what you SAY you value.

What you actually value.

If 30% of your revenue comes from existing customers, but a junior employee buried two layers below leadership manages retention, what does that tell me?

If your largest expense is customer acquisition, but nobody owns contribution margin, what does that tell me?

Organizational structure reflects priorities.

Sometimes the fastest way to identify what's wrong with a business is to look at who's accountable for what.

And who's not.
