About John Thornton

Thornton CFO provides fractional CFO services to small businesses (<100 employees) primarily in north Alabama, but anywhere virtually. Our solution does not come in a three-ring binder but by partnering with the small business owner in solving problems: cash flow management; understanding financial reports; debt restructure / new debt for growth, etc. We work with small business owners on an hourly or monthly retainer basis providing the strategy and advisory services of a Chief Financial Officer, but in a capacity that allows more budget flexibility.
