Meet Charles
Hi, I'm Charles Leikauf, a Corporate finance guy turned accidental fractional CFO.
I found a way to escape my CFO corporate job. How I did that, was I turned the finance skills I had into a business that has allowed me to have time, location and financial freedom.
When I'm not serving fractional CFO clients I'm helping accountants and bookkeepers just like you do the same to your existing firm.
Outside of that I'm always traveling and spending time with my family & dog, be it at the beach or in the mountains, nature is my happy place.
