About
Hi, I’m Mike. I’m My ABA CFO.
Twenty years in the CFO chair, including serving as CFO through a private-equity exit. ABA and pediatric therapy are the foundation of my practice, alongside select engagements with other established businesses.
Why I built it
Most ABA founders did not sign up for EBITDA.
They got into this to help kids and families. As the team grows and locations expand, they also need a clear view of cash, staffing costs, and the financial consequences of the next move.
My ABA CFO brings senior financial leadership to owners without a full-time CFO hire. I work alongside your accounting team on forecasts, reporting, and financial decisions, so you can plan for the business while staying focused on the care you provide.
Why ABA
ABA found me before I went looking.
My son needed therapy, and watching him with the right clinician showed me what good clinical care does for a family. I wanted other parents to have that, so I started helping a clinician on the business side.
That turned into a CFO engagement, then a referral, then another. ABA, OT, ST, and PT became the foundation of my practice. I am also considering select engagements with owners in other industries, where my broader CFO experience is a good fit.
Most ABA founders got into this work to make a difference for kids and families, not to chase EBITDA.
The career
Two decades in the chair, and on the other side of the table.
I have served as CFO through a private-equity exit. I bring that experience to the reporting, planning, and decisions owners face before a sale.
My experience also includes CFO work with pediatric therapy businesses and board service. Ambassador Enterprises’ 2024 report lists me on the AE Holdings board; its companies reported $2.2 billion in annual revenue that year.
Son of Greek immigrants who came to the US with almost nothing. My parents drilled academic discipline into me before I knew what a balance sheet was. I earned my CPA auditing nonprofits. That is where I learned to read a P&L like a story, and spot the parts that do not add up.
That is still what I do. Numbers tell you what happened. My job is to tell you what they mean.
