Description

In this episode, James Kennedy talks with Darren Cherry, Partner at FocusCFO and leader of the firm’s Exit Planning practice, about building a business that thrives without the owner. Darren explains the three reasons companies bring in a fractional CFO, why exits take 12-18 months (minimum), and how to grow value (not just income) by reducing owner dependency, tightening approvals, and installing metrics that drive behavior. He also shares a turnaround story from industrial manufacturing and the mindset entrepreneurs need to scale and sell.
