Darrell is a senior financial and operational executive who helps owner-led businesses regain control of cash flow, margins, and decision-making as they scale.
With more than 30 years of leadership experience across insurance, banking, franchise operations, construction, and roofing, Darrell partners with founders who have outgrown reactive financial management and need disciplined execution at the executive level.
Rather than producing more reports, Darrell focuses on building decision-ready financial infrastructure — aligning cash flow, margin visibility, and operating priorities so leadership teams can act with confidence. His work consistently improves liquidity, profitability, and accountability without adding unnecessary complexity.
Darrell has served in senior leadership roles including CFO of CNA Life Insurance (overseeing a $150M merger), President and CFO of a multi-state Pizza Hut franchise operation, Corporate Controller for The Workman Company, and CFO of Bluebird Roofing, where he helped grow revenue targets from $28M to $40M.
He specializes in working with construction and contractor-adjacent businesses, as well as other owner-led companies navigating growth, complexity, or exit planning. In a recent engagement, Darrell reduced accounts receivable days by nearly 40%, unlocking approximately $2M in cash and restoring financial control.
Darrell believes the role of a CFO is simple: deliver clarity, improve cash flow and profitability, manage risk, and enable better decisions as the business scales.
