Brad is an industry expert on all things finance. His demeanor really resonates with the Collision Industry as a whole and he has a tremendous amount of passion for what he does. I've seen his presentations at SEMA and WIN and worked with him in a previous role. Most recently, I had the privilege to work alongside Brad during the COVID19loans.org start up and his dedication to his clients was unmatched. It's been great to see him bring his knowledge to the bodyshops and other small businesses around the US - especially in such a demanding time. While government decisions were changing hourly, watching Brad navigate and communicate best practices to his clients was next level.

Brad and his team are assisting us at California Color Source with securing SBA stimulus loans, etc. He is also working with many of our clients for the same purposes per my recommendation after having worked with Brad for a number of years as our 20-Group Facilitator. If you hire an accountant to prepare your taxes, consider hiring someone to prepare these stimulus packages as well. Greg

Brad was kind enough to present at our January 2018 CCIF event. We had close to 1000 attendees. Brad assembled an amazing group of panelist and delivered a presentation that was 100% relevant. Brad moderated the panelist in way that provided the attendees with exceptional value and in-depth information. The feedback was overwhelming positive. Brad as the past Chairman of CCIF I can’t thank you enough for sharing your immense knowledge. I’m sure we will have you back again.

      You might not realize it, but there are hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax credits waiting for you to claim them. If your business was affected by covid - by mandates, restrictions, social distancing, or otherwise, there is a good chance that you qualify for massive tax refunds. How do I know? My team and I have filed for nearly $100 million in tax refunds for business owners. People often ask - how did I discover these credits. Well, it all starts with a White House phone call, a CFO, and an attorney. You might not realize it, but there are two types of CFOs. The first is the Finance CFO. This is the CFO that loves to find and negotiate money. Tax Credits. Loans. Lines of Credit. Acquisitions. M&A. The second is the Controller CFO. This is the CFO that loves bank reconciliations, chart of accounts, journal entries and budgets. If you're looking for the first - we might be a good fit. If you're looking for the second - we can point your in the right direction. Outsourced CFO for business owners from $5m - $50m revenues. Want to see what our process looks like?

      We secure Loan Forgiveness for BUSINESS OWNERS whose business has been affected by COVID-19. The Government is trying to help. But they're overwhelmed. Unemployment offices are swamped. Websites are down. Banks are flooded with applications. You have to get to the front of the line....Quickly. And your application has to be flawless. But once you secure funding...how do you ensure it's forgiven? Mistakes will cost you tens, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost loan forgiveness.

      I provide students with an overview of key topics in corporate finance, with an emphasis on analysis of the key financial statements - Profit and Loss, Cash Flow and Balance Sheet. This class is hands on, using financials from actual multi-national companies. We discuss financial management, financial statements, cash flow, taxes, forecasting, and financial ratios. We also discuss who uses these ratios and why they are important. We utilize case studies, current events as reported in the business and financial press, and and publicly available financials to further the course learning objectives. By the end of this course I help students:  Gain a general understanding of the structure of financial statements  Learn financial ratios and calculations  Acquire the skills necessary to assess a company’s financial position  Become familiar with who uses these analyses and why  Acquire a basic understanding of the forces behind cash flow and its importance to a company Show less
