Hi, I’m Chase Rowan.
My passion lies in helping ambitious businesses move with confidence and purpose. I’m committed to bringing steady leadership, clear insight, and real partnership to every team I work with.
I help small and medium-sized businesses navigate their most critical financial and operational challenges.
My background spans technology, healthcare, retail, and beyond. Working with companies from early-stage startups to multi-site operations with international supply chains. I've served as CFO or top financial leader for multiple top-tier financial firms, sat on six boards (including with PE, VC, and family office investors), and closed over 60 equity, debt, and M&A transactions totaling more than $10 billion.
I've built and led teams across accounting, FP&A, HR, contracts, and marketing. I've hired everyone from CEOs to analysts, implemented systems like NetSuite, Intacct, and Salesforce, and guided companies through Big 4 audits, IPOs, and compliance certifications. I hold an MBA from Harvard Business School and started my career at Lehman Brothers—yes, during 2008.
But here's what really drives me: I grew up around my parents' small business. Dinner conversations were about customers, employees, and tough decisions. I watched them build something from nothing, and it shaped everything that came after.
After years in investment banking, private equity lending, and corporate leadership roles, I realized my passion was helping founders and entrepreneurs like my parents. In late 2022, I launched my own practice built on five values: integrity, durability, excellence, creativity, and courage.
I work with clients who share those values. Leaders building something meaningful who need strategic financial guidance without the overhead of a full-time executive. Whether you need fractional CFO support, help with a transaction, or a thought partner for your next phase of growth, I bring both the technical expertise and the entrepreneurial perspective to help you succeed.
This is the most gratifying work of my career. I'm honored to contribute to the efforts of so many great teams.
