BIO

Fractional CFO who learned business at his father's side — a serial entrepreneur who started companies from nothing and worked 100-hour weeks to build them. Brennan carries that same grit but channels it through financial strategy. His defining trait is long-game trust: he once referred a brewery prospect to someone better suited for the work, knowing the relationship mattered more than the revenue. It paid off — they came back.
