“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.”

- Chris Marasco
Senior Vice President, Howard Bank

“Manny and PORTAL CFO Services 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.”

- Ned Johnson
CEO, PrepMatters Inc.

“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.”

- David Webb
Co-Founder, Evolution LLC

“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.”

- Jason Pappas
CEO, EntreQuest Inc.

“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.”

- Costantino Pipero
CEO, Beeond, Inc.

“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.”

- Dan Harris
CEO, Premier Planning Group

“Working with Manny 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.”

- Paul Saiz
CEO, Gold Leaf Group Inc.

“Manny is a part of our team and a person of high integrity who shares our company values. If you are looking for a CFO who can help get your business to the next level, Manny is the person to help you get there. We went through a tough period, as many small businesses did the past few years and he helped us manage our cash flow and create proforma budgets that were realistic and that would create greater value for the company. He always kept on top of things like a true professional. Thanks Manny!”

- Elizabeth Shea
CEO, SpeakerBox LLC

“After many disappointing interviews with financial groups and being very frustrated because of an unclear vision on how we were going to move from point A to point B on a financial level, finally Manny was suggested to us by another working in this frustrating World of Finance. When we met with Manny he immediately began laying out the steps of what needed to be done and how we were going to accomplish our goals. We look forward to our monthly meetings, it’s filled with blunt honesty, a shot of adrenaline and encouragement at the same time. His attitude and presentation of our goals do not seem impossible but within reach. We see a long lasting relationship with Manny. Thanks Manny!”
