About Jade Floyd

I serve as a Fractional CFO for hospitality and tech-enabled companies ready to scale with stronger systems and clearer numbers. I help founders move from financial overwhelm to confident, strategic leadership.With nearly two decades in hospitality and operations, I learned early how powerful strong systems, clean reporting, and thoughtful leadership can be. From luxury hotels to multi-outlet operations, I’ve always been drawn to what makes service-driven businesses work behind the scenes.When COVID paused large events, it gave me space to realign. I realized I was most energized by building systems, analyzing numbers, and creating clarity in complexity. Transitioning into accounting and financial management allowed me to stay connected to hospitality while creating a more sustainable rhythm and a deeper strategic impact.Today, as a Fractional CFO with Breakaway Advising, I partner with growing companies that need executive-level financial oversight without hiring a full-time finance team. I specialize in multi-entity environments, financial systems architecture, cash-flow strategy, and translating complex financial data into clear, actionable insights.My work often includes:• Financial system design and optimization, including PMS, POS, and accounting integrations• Consolidated and entity-level reporting• Cash-flow forecasting and strategic planning• Cleanup and infrastructure development for growing organizations• Profitability analysis and margin strategyI bring a hospitality-informed, human-centered approach to financial leadership. That means calm guidance, practical structure, and clarity that supports confident decisions.At Breakaway, I operate within a collaborative network of accountants, controllers, and CFOs. Clients benefit from both my personal partnership and the collective depth of our team behind the scenes.Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring Charleston’s food and beverage scene, enjoying the water, traveling, or spending time with my family, the spaces that keep me grounded and inspired. If your business is growing and your financial systems need to catch up, I’d love to connect.
