Joe O’Regan – Why 90% of Startups Waste Their Capital

James Kennedy chats with Joe O’Regan – founder of Intrinsic CFO and an ACCA-qualified fractional CFO – about the full arc of capital: deploying it in banks, raising it in corporate finance, and managing it inside growing SMBs. From wind-farm project finance and PPAs to benchmarking margins and preparing for exit, Joe breaks down how smart capital allocation – and the “three Es” (economical, effective, efficient) – drives durable growth. Along the way: dairy-farm grit, Big Four consulting, Canada radio days, and why every business should be “always ready to sell.”

Kyle Gasaway – How We Got Acquired by IBM Using Only QuickBooks

James Kennedy welcomes Kyle Gasaway, founder of Unicorn Group, to unpack the myths and realities of ERP implementations and why many startups don’t need them nearly as early as they think. Kyle shares candid lessons from years as a Big Four auditor, controller, and startup CFO – covering failed NetSuite and Sage Intacct rollouts, QuickBooks-powered exits (including an IBM acquisition), and his framework for keeping finance stage-appropriate. He also explains how fractional CFOs can maximize value through equity strategy, pricing discipline, and simplicity in systems

Haim Ratzabi – The Startup Secret They Don’t Want You to Know

James Kennedy chats with Haim Ratzabi, founder of HR Boutique CFO Services in Israel, about building and scaling companies in the Startup Nation – from early finance ops through U.S. GAAP/IFRS readiness and the long road to a NASDAQ listing. Haim explains Israel’s unique mix of government R&D support, elite military tech networks, and a deep advisor ecosystem (Big Four + global law firms) that helps startups go global. You’ll hear what it really takes – time, fees, bankers, tooling – to go public, when to bring in a fractional CFO, and how to structure finance so founders can move fast and pass investor/bank scrutiny.
