Neil Geary – The $67M Real Estate Turnaround

In this episode, James Kennedy sits down with Neil Geary, fractional CFO and partner at SeatonHill Partners, to unpack what happens when big entrepreneurial vision meets real-world financial reality. Drawing on a career that started as a Coast Guard – licensed boat captain and evolved through family offices, hospitality, and large-scale real estate development, Neil shares how “captain’s thinking” – planning, diligence, and safety – translates into better decisions for founders and investors.

From rescuing a beloved but loss-making New England “trophy” hotel and restaurant, to helping a Midwestern multifamily developer level up into a $67M ground-up project, Neil shows how the right CFO can turn chaos into a clear course – without killing the entrepreneurial spark that made the business work in the first place.
