About Craig Johnson
I am a Chief Financial Officer with over 20 years of experience rebuilding and leading finance functions across both nonprofit and for-profit organizations. I am typically brought in to provide clear, decision-ready financial insight that supports growth, strategic planning, and sound execution—especially in complex or changing environments.My work focuses on stabilizing operations, modernizing financial systems, and improving visibility through disciplined budgeting, forecasting, and reporting. I have led organizations through periods of growth, revenue volatility, and leadership transition by restoring reliable data, tightening controls, and creating forward-looking financial models that support better decisions.In addition to finance, I have overseen HR, IT, and administrative functions, helping organizations move from fragmented processes to more aligned, accountable operations. I am known for calm, practical leadership and for building teams that value clarity, ownership, and follow-through.I partner closely with CEOs, executive teams, and boards, translating complex financial realities into straightforward insights and recommendations. My leadership style is collaborative and coaching-oriented, with a strong belief that trust, transparency, and good systems enable high-performing teams and healthier organizations.
