Overview
Johnston Company can help a CEO who:
- Has no CFO in place, or has one who is really more of a controller, and not an active thought partner to the CEO.
- Is managing fast growth, and needs a grip on pricing, margin, distribution channel, collections, sales pipeline, funding, and cash burn, and how all these interact.
- Is managing the shrinkage or the re-launch of a business.
- Wants better ways to hold managers accountable for forecasting results and delivering them.
- Is wondering how to staff the accounting function.
- Wants to have more productive Board meetings, and more credibility with the Board.
- Wants to position the business for sale or new funding.
- Is saying, “I want to do things differently in this business.”

What clients are saying: "Jim is not only a very experienced CFO, who is able to address the strategic needs of my business and ensure that a solid financial plan is in place, but also an invaluable advisor, who askes the unasked questions and challenges the management team to stay focused on the longer term needs of the company."
- Edwin Hastings, Managing Director and President of OHO Interactive (2011)
“Jim does not come from your typical executive search firm. First and foremost Jim is a CFO, as opposed to simply a recruiter. He also has developed a sixth sense for what is real and what’s not—he is able to go back and forth between finances and operations, and at the same time drive a very effective search process.”
- Grant Bennett, CEO of CPS Technologies (2011)
"Jim helps me set goals for myself as CEO and helps me focus my attention on achieving those goals."
- Jerry Shafir, CEO of Kettle Cuisine (2010)
"Jim built our first forecasting model and we use it constantly to know where we've been, where we are and where we are going. He has a very effective way of taking the management team through a monthly review of business performance, drivers and near-term outlook."
- Sandra Serkes, CEO of Valora Technologies (2008)
“With Jim Johnston we got access to the expertise without incurring the expense of hiring a fulltime CFO. Jim helped us establish the process and develop the financial tools we needed to build our business.”
- Vanu Bose, CEO of Vanu, Inc. (2005)
