About Leisa DuPuy

​

Your Anchor

Your Fractional CFO

Executive-Level Strategy. Fractional Cost.

​The financial complexities of scaling a business often outpace its resources.
That's where I come in.
I partner with ambitious leadership teams to provide the strategic financial leadership of a seasoned CFO, without the commitment or cost of a full-time executive.

 

MY MISSION is to transform your financial data into a powerful tool for decisive action and profitable growth.  You will be working with me and only me.  I will be your partner when digging into the lowest level of detail, if that is what is needed for your organization to accomplish your strategic goals.

 

MY EXPERTISE is driving growth and operational excellence.  For nearly three decades, I have served as an executive leader, primarily in the CFO and Finance Director roles, guiding companies through periods of significant change, including private capital acquisition and M&A.

  • I possess the experience and skillsets to make an immediate impact, add long-term value, and optimize your financial strategy.

  • I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to stabilize finances, improve financial reporting, and provide financial leadership. 

  • I can navigate companies through complex business situations and find superior solutions that would otherwise not be envisioned or executed. 

 

MY EXPERIENCE is rooted in delivering measurable results across diverse, high-growth sectors:

  • Manufacturing: I have driven a 20%+ profit margin for a $50M+ manufacturing business, and have analyzed product costs at the product family and SKU level.

  • Private Equity: I have successfully led financial due diligence with Private Equity sponsors, resulting in restructured capital, and worked closely with lenders on divestiture processes.

  • Strategic Systems Integration: I have led the selection and completed integration of multiple ERP systems (including Sage Intacct), payroll systems, equity tools, and expense management systems, dramatically reducing the financial close cycle, while instituting SOX-ready controls.

  • Fundraising: I have been an integral part of capital and debt fundraising activities, including federal funded loans and grants.

  • Cash Flow Optimization: I have focused on improving cash flow modeling and other working capital initiatives, including freeing up cash through decreased receivables and vendor payment term renegotiations.

 

MY TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY is excellent, and includes selection and implementation of ERPs like Oracle, SAP, Acumatica, Sage Intacct, and QuickBooks, and power SaaS tools such as Ramp, Emburse, Carta, Paylocity and Paychex.  As an added bonus, I'm highly proficient in Excel Power Pivots and Power BI.

I am a change management champion committed to implementing lean process improvements and driving top-line growth through strategic vision.

  • Scaling rapidly and need strategic forecasting and budgeting

  • Preparing for a major financing round or an M&A event

  • Struggling to translate operational data into sustainable, profitable growth

  • Transitioning between CFO's​A Foundation

  • MBA from Boston University Graduate School of Management

  • BS in Finance from Bentley University

  • Certificate in Private Capital Markets from Pepperdine University Graziadio Business School

  • Six Sigma Lean Professional Certification
