Richard Grant | Chief Financial Officer & CPA
Richard B. Grant is a PE-backed Chief Financial Officer, former Chief Operating Officer, and Certified Public Accountant with 25+ years of experience creating measurable value in CPG, distribution, e-commerce, and telecom companies across 95+ countries. He has scaled businesses from $150M to $2.6B in revenue, delivered 9.8x EBITDA growth, and executed exits at 14.4x multiples, not as an advisor watching from the sidelines, but as the CFO in the room driving the outcome.
What makes Richard different is the combination of financial precision and operational depth. Trained as a CPA at Arthur Andersen, KPMG, and in public company finance, he spent the bulk of his career inside PE-backed businesses, restructuring accounting teams, deploying Power BI analytics platforms, directing Quality of Earnings processes, securing lending facilities, integrating acquisitions, and leading full sale processes from banker engagement through closing. He has also served as COO and Board Member, giving him a perspective most CFOs simply don't have.
Richard currently leads Grant Advisory Partners, providing CFO advisory and fractional CFO services to PE-backed and family-owned platforms navigating growth, restructuring, or exit. He is based in the New York metro area and is selectively available for permanent CFO roles and board advisory engagements. An Eagle Scout, he brings the same discipline and integrity to the boardroom that has defined his career.
