About James Stoddard

Be positive, be determined, be humble, don\'t be afraid to make a decision and work to inspire others to be great! I am a CFO that is active in setting a strategic vision for the role of the finance team to support operations and creating a well-defined roadmap for that partnership. It is critical for the CFO to see the big picture and at same time work with operations to dream big, get stuff done and have fun doing it.

Experience

1. Chief Financial Officer

   M&D

   Apr 2019 — Present · Houston, TX, US

   Partnering with our Private Equity sponsor, the executive management team is directing a significant growth strategy through organic growth, greenfield geography expansion and new acquisitions. From instituting a 13-week cash flow, to more robust budgeting and financial reporting we are doing everything that a new platform requires to make that \"next step\" including succession planning and strategic planning. My passion goes far beyond just reporting numbers. A successful CFO must be an active participant and partner with operations and sales to really understand the numbers and successfully communicate the Company\'s message.
