BeaconCFO Plus is a professional CFO service firm that has generated new clients through introductions by a variety of contacts in the personal and business networks of its CFOs.  These contacts were established over time through the firm’s collective efforts in connecting through traditional business development processes.  While we have been successful following this approach, changes in the marketplace led us to conclude the dynamics of business development required more than our traditional methods.
