Paul Puerzer, CPA, MBA

I am a CFO who identifies new revenue streams and unlocks hidden value from overlooked and underutilized assets. I leverage my entrepreneurial mind-set and management of the accounting and finance functions to uncover opportunities for revenue generation and cost containment. Recognized for providing strategic insight and sound judgement, I have led the execution of major financial transactions as well as growth, funding and M&A strategies for diverse industries and at every phase of the corporate life cycle – from start-ups to turnarounds. I excel at continuous improvement utilizing immediate incremental gains to drive results and achieve long term organizational goals. I am flexible yet focused and quickly adapt to constantly changing market conditions without losing sight of strategic objectives. I communicate effectively with a wide range of internal and external constituencies, including boards of directors, vendors, lenders, auditors and regulatory agencies. My ability to lead cross-functional teams, forge strategic alliances and create new intraprenuerial ventures maximizes company performance and stakeholder value. My leadership style is authentic yet situational. I consistently lead from my core values of honesty and curiosity, tailoring my message to match business needs and staff capabilities. I create and maintain a collaborative work environment where opinions are respected, contributions are encouraged and initiatives are championed.
