Purchase Approval: Streamlining Your Buying Process

Scott Geller – The Staffing Business Cash Flow Death Trap (And How to Escape)

In this episode, James Kennedy sits down with Scott Geller, CEO of Path Predict LLC and fractional CFO, to unpack the nuts and bolts of running and scaling staffing firms. Scott explains why staffing is really two sales pipelines (candidates and clients), how cash flow can get crushed by weekly payrolls and 30–90 day receivables, and the practical levers owners can pull – pricing, margins, funding – to stay liquid and grow. He also shares a venture story: guiding a COVID-era sports-tech startup past a so-so VC offer to a stronger strategic exit by building runway, discipline, and options.

Corey Friedman – From Corporate Burnout to Hospital Mogul in 10 Years

In this episode, James Kennedy sits down with fractional CFO Corey Friedman to unpack two meaty finance arenas: (1) buying and turning around distressed hospitals, and (2) making nonprofit dollars go further with strong grant governance. Corey shares how to read the real story in financials, what diligence looks like when acquiring a hospital, and the practical ways nonprofits can satisfy funders while staying mission-first.

Eamon O’Sullivan – How This Accountant 5X’d His Business Valuation

James Kennedy welcomes back Eamon O’Sullivan, partner at OSA McQuillan, to unpack how he transformed a traditional, deadline-driven accounting practice into a “service-as-a-subscription” model. Eamon shares the playbook: moving from feast-or-famine annual work to predictable monthly revenue, switching referrals to marketing-led growth, going remote, and the billing tech that makes it hum. If you run a professional services firm (accounting, legal, fractional CFO, consulting), this one’s a blueprint for a calmer business with better margins.
