I MAKE YOUR BUSINESS’S FINANCES CLEAR

A Fractional CFO Can Change Everything.

As a growing small business, you need the confidence and clarity in your numbers to make strategic decisions for success — that’s where I come in. I’m a fractional CFO in Colorado Springs with decades of finance experience growing small businesses in Colorado Springs and beyond. I’m an active mentor in the start-up community and serve on the Small Business Advisory Council for Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC.

HI, I’M DAVID GOODSTEIN

Your Trusted Finance Professional

Growing a business is hard. Like most business owners, I spent 30+ years in corporate America working my 9-5 before I became an entrepreneur. I worked as a CPA and then for many years for large and small companies where I saw firsthand the challenges growing businesses face.

I wanted to be directly connected to them and their success.

Since then, I’ve started my own business as a fractional CFO, helping small businesses scale to millions of dollars. With me by your side, your company will get the integrity, strategic planning, and risk management you want from an expert financial partner.

LET’S WORK THROUGH YOUR PAIN POINTS TOGETHER

Financial Support and Accountability You Need for Success

You’re a small business owner with an incredible dream and a passion — not a finance expert with decades of experience like I am. You know that accurate financial data and a forward-thinking business plan are needed for success. Don’t make scaling your business any harder than it already is. Here’s what I can do for your company:

HERE’S WHY I DO WHAT I DO

My Mission Behind the Numbers

I operate under values different from most financial experts. “Not your typical finance guy” is what one of my GMs called me back in my corporate finance days. I really love explaining finance to non-finance people in a way they understand. Instead of drowning you with industry jargon to boost my ego, you’ll get hands-on support from a dedicated partner who wants nothing more than your success.

Here’s what I believe in and how you’ll know if we’re a good fit.

Community Matters

We’re nothing without our community. Not only do I believe there’s more than enough to go around, but I’m an active participant in the Colorado Springs small business community, mentoring start-ups with Exponential Impact and serving on the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce SBAC Committee.

Customer-First Focus

Small businesses deserve to succeed. I’m here to develop a long-term relationship with you, your team, and your business. I keep my client levels low so you can get hands-on support and timely communication for success you can actually feel. I’m not out to make the most money possible — I’m out to make the most significant impact possible.

Give Instead of Take

Integrity is at the core of everything I do. I truly believe that when you give more instead of taking, you’ll receive tenfold. By focusing on adding value and serving others, we pave the way for growth and success for all. Ask Questions, listen, and give back. They’re my guiding principles and fuel my mission of integrity-filled fractional CFO services.

MY EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, & COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

More About Me

I started my education at the University of Copenhagen and the University of Washington. I began my career as a certified public accountant, working with companies like Touche Ross (now Deloitte), Intel, and Dell. I’ve held a number of roles in finance and IT, including living and working internationally and working directly for senior executives in large and small companies. Since my 30-year run in corporate America, I’ve started my on-demand CFO business, helping grow small businesses nationwide.

Now, I’m actively involved in the Colorado Springs small business community. I support Exponential Impact as a mentor for the Start and Scale programs and review applications for the Survive and Thrive program. I also serve on the Small Business Advisory Council for the Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC. When I’m not working with my small business clients, I’m on a run preparing for my upcoming marathon. I’m at 30, including five in Boston.
