BOB LYNCH
Bob Lynch is the president and founder of Strategic Financial Leadership, a consulting firm devoted to helping businesses and nonprofits strengthen their financial and business condition.
Mr. Lynch, a management accountant and fraud examiner, has more than 30 years of experience. As an outsourced chief financial officer, he has advised and coached chief executive officers and business owners.
He has a common sense approach to finances, a reassuring manner with his clients and a commitment to doing things right.
It’s also important to him to be a good listener. That way, he can easily adapt to his each clients’ unique needs.
And he knows a “can-do” attitude is crucial. Helping clients solve problems and overcome hurdles can mean the difference between a business surviving or closing.
But what’s most important is his role as a teacher. He likes to teach clients how to do things themselves. “I don’t want them to have to constantly require my consulting services,” he says.
He began his career in real estate management, quickly distinguishing himself by creating an accounting and budgeting system for a new business. He also helped to build a multi-million dollar nonprofit. And he worked for manufacturers and distributors, helping them run the business end of their organizations, including purchasing, human resources and risk management.
He is a certified fraud examiner, certified management accountant, certified financial planner and certified financial manager. He earned a bachelors degree in business administration from Xavier University, majoring in accounting.
He feels pride in the results he achieves for his clients. “I love to be part of their success. There’s a great satisfaction knowing you made something better.”
