Manny and I met through a common client that was at a critical juncture in the business life cycle.  Manny's ability to analyze the balance sheet and income statement, make recommendations, and hold the business owner(s) accountable for those recommendations was crucial to helping the business turn around in a short period of time.  Manny's prior experience as a commercial banker allows him to have insight from both sides of the client/bank relationship.

Manny and PORTAL Finance have been of great benefit to our company in serving as our virtual CFO.  Though I was initially skeptical when a consultant recommended the idea, my expectations have been wildly surpassed.  I unequivocally recommend Manny Skevofilax for the deep expertise, attention to client needs, and ceaseless commitment to finding solutions that have made our investment in his services worth every penny and more.

Manny is a first rate Outsourced CFO.  His expert analysis of our business and his understanding of our goals as a company has created an unmatched synergy that has proven to be invaluable.  The detailed deliverables that Manny has created are extremely concise and it really breaks down our corporate finances to a tee.  I would recommend Manny to any business owner who is looking for a CFO, but does not want to hire them directly.  His business model is a perfect fit for any small or medium sized business owner.

Manny has been instrumental in providing a convergence between the financial and technology vision of Trusted Technologies.  Manny’s financial guidance, leadership, and expertise have brought comfort to the Trusted Technologies’ Executive Staff as the company seeks to achieve the next level of its business projections while also managing explosive growth.  Beyond Manny’s integrity, he treats Trusted Technologies like his own. Too bad, we did not have Manny’s leadership from day one.

Adding Manny as our outsourced CFO is one of the main reasons EntreQuest has been able to increase the net profit margin significantly this year. Too often business owners are so involved “in the business” that they never take the time to work “on the business” and truly analyze their business model. Manny not only challenged our thinking, he used his experience and expertise to implement a sound financial plan that drove both the top and bottom line dramatically. It is truly one of the most profitable investments EntreQuest has ever made.

Manny is a rare combination of significant technical knowledge and valuable common sense, probably due to his broad experience ranging from Top 500 Fortune companies to small and medium enterprises. His skills, combined with a very pleasant personality, helped our business to exit a financial impasse and grow 30% in 3 months.

Manny helped us work through some very challenging ownership, management, and financial issues.  I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an outsourced CFO.

Working with PORTAL helped me to put in place financial controls that were desperately needed after 18 years of continuous growth. These controls allow me to focus on my business and provide me with the critical information I need to make timely management decisions.
