Debbie Rosler – CEO Embezzled $1.5M From His Own Startup

In this episode, James Kennedy sits down with Debbie Rosler, fractional CFO at Burkland, to dig into the uncomfortable but critical topic of waste, fraud and abuse inside venture-backed startups. Drawing on a career that spans investment banking, private equity, Levi Strauss, dot-com startups and a career-defining embezzlement case where a CEO “borrowed” $1.5M from his own company, Debbie walks through exactly how it happened, why the board didn’t catch it, and the practical controls that saved the business. They also explore how SaaS founders can use “two sets of eyes,” approval matrices and even purchase orders with lawyers and contractors – and why phishing, payment-redirection scams and AI deepfakes make 2025 a dangerous time to be casual about controls. James closes by introducing redflag.procurementexpress.com, a 30-second AI QuickBooks scan that flags unusual spending patterns before they blow up into a crisis.

Andy Mellor – The Truth About Fractional CFOs

In this episode, James Kennedy sits down with UK-based portfolio CFO Andy Mellor, founder of Summit17, to tackle a controversial question: what actually makes a “real” fractional CFO? Drawing on Andy’s journey from big corporate finance to PE-backed gym chains and nursery groups, through to running his own packed portfolio practice, they unpack how to separate serious CFOs from title-only pretenders, why great financial models should drive day-to-day decisions (not gather dust in Excel), and how fractional CFOs can build real equity instead of just selling hours. Along the way, Andy shares a live MBO case study where a retiring partner was bought out without private equity and how smart forecasting and cash planning made it possible.
