Most Companies Don’t Have a Revenue Problem.

They Have a Visibility Problem.

Power CFO helps growth-oriented and lower middle-market companies improve profitability, operational visibility, cash flow stability, and transaction readiness through a structured financial operating system designed to support scalability and long-term enterprise value creation.

Many businesses generate strong revenue while still struggling with:

  • margin compression 

  • inconsistent cash flow 

  • unreliable forecasting 

  • delayed reporting 

  • operational inefficiencies 

  • weak profitability visibility 

By the time issues appear in traditional month-end reporting, the damage has often already occurred.

  • Shane Glavin founded Power CFO to help companies move beyond reactive accounting and develop the operational financial visibility required for sustainable growth, profitability improvement, and long-term enterprise value creation.

    His experience working alongside growth-oriented businesses across multiple industries led to the realization that many organizations lacked the financial visibility necessary to scale effectively, protect profitability, and make confident strategic decisions.

    Today, Power CFO works with companies nationwide to improve operational visibility, financial structure, profitability performance, and transaction readiness.

  • Power CFO is not a traditional outsourced accounting firm.

    We help companies build the financial and operational visibility infrastructure necessary to:

    • improve profitability 

    • strengthen decision-making 

    • stabilize cash flow 

    • support lenders and investors 

    • improve forecasting visibility 

    • prepare for growth, acquisitions, or exit events 

    Our focus is not simply producing reports.

    Our focus is creating visibility leadership teams can actually operate from.

    That includes:

    • structured financial reporting 

    • weekly scorecards and KPI visibility 

    • forecasting systems 

    • branch and project profitability analysis 

    • operational performance alignment 

    • margin analysis 

    • strategic technology and AI integration 

    • lender and transaction readiness
