ABOUT ROSS PEDERSEN
Currently serving as a CFO Advisor at Brady Martz, I partner with business owners, CEOs, and leadership teams to improve profitability, strengthen operations, and build scalable financial infrastructure. I advise companies on financial strategy, operational excellence, ERP transformation, capital allocation, and sustainable growth. I am equally passionate about serving as a senior finance executive or partnering with organizations through fractional CFO, management consulting, and ERP advisory engagements. With more than 20 years of finance, operations, and leadership experience, my background spans high-growth startups, middle-market companies, multi-location operations, and complex business environments. I specialize in aligning financial strategy with operational execution, transforming finance from a reporting function into a strategic driver of enterprise value. Throughout my career, I have led financial transformations, ERP implementations, cash flow improvements, margin expansion initiatives, capital planning, acquisitions, and operational scale-up. My experience combines deep financial expertise with hands-on operational leadership. I have built finance organizations from the ground up, modernized systems, enhanced reporting visibility, strengthened internal controls, and helped companies successfully navigate growth, change, and complexity.
