Testimonials

I was fortunate to attend the event where Frank Dane from B2B-CFO was the speaker. A few weeks later it became apparent that my company, Earth2World needed a CFO but not full time. After one call to Frank, he has become an extremely valuable part of our team. He is extremely knowledgeable and attentive to detail. It is great to be able to have Frank as a consulting CFO. Thank you Frank.

If you are a private owner of a business or becoming one soon, you should utilize Franks resources to help your business grow and become very marketable. Frank has not only the tools but the experiences to help your business become increasingly successful.

- Brad

Frank brings impressive experience to his role as consultant and CFO for your business. But more importantly, my experience with Frank is that he truly cares about you and your business. He will go the extra mile to assuredly bring more value, knowledge and expertise to all aspects of ownership so that you can see your vision fulfilled.

-Roni

Frank delivered excellent CFO consulting tailored to the size and need of our group. Frank's counsel was a key component to the entire growth cycle of our business; from the construction of the accounting system to obtaining financing and structuring deals with business partners. I highly recommend Frank's service and expertise.

-Damon

Frank has provided us CFO type services since the inception of our group. His input and support through challenging times, his spot-on recommendations setting up financial reporting and controlling structures were of great value for us. Frank is highly professional yet fun to work with and his level of integrity make him an integral part of our Executive team. We operate a complex manufacturing process and some specific services provided by Frank included determining beginning balances upon acquisition, structuring a reporting package for a three entity consolidation and monitoring and reporting on operating results and debt related financial ratios and covenants. Monthly financial analysis and reporting were consistently achieved on a timely basis. I highly recommend Frank for small and mid-size companies.

-Chris

I could not have made a better decision in hiring Frank as financial advisor for my small but rapidly growing company. Frank has been invaluable in bringing us to a higher level of efficiency and clarity, providing us the structure and strategic planning we need for growing our company.

Frank is impeccably professional, conducting himself with quiet confidence and the highest degree of integrity, and is a very effective leader and communicator.

I highly recommend Frank as a consulting CFO for any business. Like me, you’ll find yourself wondering how you ever got along without him!

-Athena

Frank Dane produces great results with high integrity and exceptional people skills. I have known Frank for over 10 years and highly recommend his services.

As a businessperson, I cannot think of a man who possesses a higher level of integrity while keeping his eye on the targets that need to be met. Not only does he meet such targets, but Frank exceeds them in a timely manner. As the CFO for my company, Equality Funds, I am always very impressed with how each of his goals in the business development phase have been accomplished - and on time. Frank is responsible for administering cohesive and effective team meetings, configuring (LLC) business documents, and uncovering any legal hurdles over which to jump. Such hurdles, if missed, often can cause the demise of so many businesses. Frank knew what to look for and how to reach the necessary solutions at the lowest possible cost.
