"John has been instrumental in the growth of my company. He came on board as the fractional CFO and help us build out a predictable revenue model, complete with inputs and outputs through which we could model the growth of the company. He also helped us develop our first real estate syndication and provided advice on raising capital. Not to mention all of the normal duties of a CFO. Not only that though, he also brought his experience with EOS implementation and held our team accountable through our growth. He participated on our Level-10 weekly team meetings and coached me (the owner/CEO) throughout our business development. With John you'll get more than a textbook CFO, you'll also get a business coach, advisor, and friend. I couldn't recommend John highly enough."

I have had the pleasure of working with John for the past 2 years. Before working with him, our books were a mess and we were out of touch with our finances. Over the past two years, he was instrumental in helping to clean up our books and providing amazing financial guidance. He also played a key role in the implementation of the Traction EOS system in our business, which has greatly improved our overall operations. I highly recommend John for any financial strategy or business coaching needs.

"John is simply an amazing accounting professional, business coach and outsourced CFO. We worked with John monthly for almost a year and he is highly skilled. Our business is a very complex real estate investment company with lots of employees, multiple subsidiary entities and tons of moving pieces. John helped us get our books in order, hire and onboard a highly skilled in-house accounting staff and worked hard to help us turn our business around. We are up over 100% since he has come on board. We highly recommend him!"

"John is the real deal! We started working with John a couple years ago when we were really challenged financially with lots of inefficiencies and hidden costs that was keeping us from scaling. John helped us setup proper systems and structure for all of the financials, got books in place, advised us on how to best use credit lines to offset expenses and growth, and most importantly he coached us and has guided us to using proven entrepreneur operating systems that we have plugged into and completely changed the trajectory of our business. During the time working with John, we've more than doubled our sales and just finished 2022 with $2.4M revenue on the books, on pace to hit $5.9M this year. Although we executed the work, it would not have been possible without John on our team, he has become a trusted advisor, friend and almost feels like a dad to me and i'm so grateful for the results he has helped us achieve. He constantly pushes us to think bigger, become better leaders and is a sounding board in all our weekly meetings and has become an integral part of our team. I Highly recommend this man, his excellent knowledge and insight will help you achieve that next level. John has given us the confidence to not just dabble and to go ALL IN and win! Thank you John!"

"What else can I say besides John Pittman helped me achieve my business dreams! He took an entrepreneur (me) who was good at making money, but not good at strategically using that money, and helped me grow my business 200% YOY for 3 years in a row. I went from working at my house with overseas contractors, to the 8th (out of 25) top marketing agencies in Sacramento with 8 employees and a 2,000 sf office downtown. His candid advice helped me acquire a competitor last year, whom now is buying out my share of the business which is the reason I am ending this contract. I now consider John to be one of my mentors and someone I can always turn to in confidence or to bounce another one of my crazy ideas off him and I know I will always get his honest advice and counsel. I am sincerely going to miss working with John after all these years, but he helped me achieve me dreams and is now free to help you reach yours!!"

"I have been running a seven figure online business for almost 5 years. About 3 years ago I was getting burned out and knew I need to get smarter people around me to help me. I had spent over $10k trying out different business coaches with no success. After one coaching session with John I knew I had found the person I was looking for. Since joining my company John has fundamentally changed the way I run my business. I went from authoritarian run company where I was solving all the problems with the employee’s only responsible was to do as I say, to one in which we develop leaders and empower the employees and department heads to take ownership of all successes and failures of their roles, responsibilities, and departments. This allowed me to run my company strategically from the top instead of worrying about all the little details in the day to day operations. My company runs much more effectively, efficiently=$$, and with a lot less stress. John has served as my trusted advisor, counsel, and strategic sounding board. If you want someone that is committed to helping navigate the difficult, but exciting journey of running a business, and doing it the right way, hire John. He has knack for saying the right things at the right time and an instinct for how to handle difficult situations that can ruin companies. I am glad to call John a good friend and excellent business coach with tremendous intelligence, energy, and integrity. I have spent $10k on different kinds of coaches to see who is the real deal and have spent 6 figures on John to absorb his knowledge and help run my business the right way. Learn from my experience and hire John."

"Amazing Experience. John stepped in took immediate control of our finance department. He provided us deep insight into the financial condition of our operations and identified multiple ways for us to increase profits. John’s insight and contribution to our complex client billing process has benefited us in ways we cannot measure. But, I’m confident John could figure out a way to measure it if we really needed to know =) Many Thanks!"

"As Jay-Z once said, "Numbers don't lie, check the scoreboard", John has literally helped me grow my business 238% from 2014 to 2015 and got me off to a great start in 2016. Thinking back to when I was first considering hiring someone to help me strategically manage the financial picture of my business about a year or so ago, it was hard for me to bite the bullet and spend this much per hour on someone. I mean that was more than I paid myself, but I knew that (at the time) I was in my 5th year of business and had to admit to myself that I had taken the company as far as I could with the financial knowledge that I had, and hiring someone like John was the only way to propel the business forward, which is what I wanted to do. So after a few calls, I hired John. And what an investment it was, for every $1 I invested in John, he returned about $2.38 back. In addition to the financial growth, he has helped streamline our operations so much that I am fortunately now in the position to have people on staff who can handle all that he has set up and taught us. I'm hoping now he can transform some other budding entrepreneurs or small business' life like he has my company. John has been the most expensive, and yet the best contractor I have ever hired on Upwork/Odesk. And I have spent close to, if not over, $100,000 over the last 6 years on this website, so I think I'm well qualified to make this declaration. You really get what you pay for (and in this case, 2.38x more!) Hire John and you will not be disappointed!"
