Michael Heller

CFO, Controller, Accounting Accepting new clients

CFO-led finance team for companies preparing a raise, outgrowing their books or reporting to a board, with accounting, controller and CFO support tailored to their needs.

About Michael

Former Senior Director of Finance at Fortune, Director of Strategic Finance & RevOps at Chief and Director of FP&A at General Assembly, where I led finance through growth, fundraising and reorganization. Most companies bring finance in too late, so I founded Finative to come in early: an NYC-based team serving clients nationwide with accounting, controller and CFO support tailored to their needs. We’ve cut close times 50%+ and found and fixed $100K+ in cash leakage.

Impact

Recent Result

Rebuilt a Series A e-commerce company’s books and board package in 3 months, giving the board the clarity to bridge cash with a credit line while we collected the full $500K in receivables.
