David and his Triton team have been key members of my team over the past 10 years with 4 drug discovery companies, of which two have been acquired and two are ongoing.

During this time, I have found the Triton team to be reliable, approachable, responsive, efficient and knowledgeable and scales as we grow. I have complete confidence that our strategic and tactical finances are in good hands with Triton, which lets my management team and me focus on creating value with our science.

A good CFO consulting service is a long-term relationship for entrepreneurs like myself, and I look forward to many more adventures with David and his team.

I continue to recommend them to colleagues and associates as a full-service finance solution – a team that has pretty much seen it all over the years and can get a robust financial operation up and running quickly and efficiently, so that you no longer have to worry about it.

I have worked with Triton Resources since 2009 and been very impressed with their quality of work and value to small growing businesses. Natalie is excellent to work with, extremely knowledgeable, responsive and a key part of our financial and accounting team.

Troy McBride

Co-Founder, Norwich Solar Technologies

In my capacity as President & COO, I selected Triton to help us manage our start up from an accounting point of view. For a period of almost three years, Natalie was our “in-house” finance director, and working with her could not have been any more satisfying. Not only did she help us fully implement our new ERP system, NetSuite, she managed all of our day-to-day accounting needs, as well as quarterly reports and board presentations. Together with Natalie, the company successfully prepared complex budgets two years in a row. On a personal level, I truly enjoyed working with her — she has a super fun personality, is a kind person and a hard worker who sets the bar as high as I do. I highly recommend anyone who is in the process of selecting an outside controller, to speak with Natalie.

Why do your clients hire you on a fractional basis?

My clients hire me because they have a need for a CFO but cannot afford to pay for a full time CFO with all the additional overhead costs such as benefits, etc… They also hire me because of my unique skill set and vast experience as well as my extensive professional network of vendors, investors, lenders, bankers, etc…

What advantage do they get from you being part time?

The main advantages are that 1. they get a heavily seasoned executive focused only on high level strategic needs of the company for a fraction of the cost of a full time CFO and 2. they have access to me and my team almost immediately (i.e. rapid deployment) and 3. I am supported by a team of financial experts that ultimately work on those tasks that don’t require my level of experience and are billed to the client at a much lower cost than what they pay for me.

And what do you get out of it – what drives you – why do you do fractional engagements?

I really enjoy working with companies on tough strategic issues and helping companies get started. I find it very rewarding to be able to put my vast experience to use helping companies get off the ground. My capacity to engage with multiple clients simultaneously make me uniquely suited for this type of role.
