Bryan Dunbar
Fractional CFO / Principal Consultant
Advanced Certified in QuickBooks Online and military veteran with 25+ years of experience supporting founder-led, growth-stage, and nonprofit organizations. I am a highly adaptable, solution-minded professional who prioritizes resolving operational challenges over simply reporting them. With a deep background in full-cycle accounting and transaction-level bookkeeping across diverse industries, I am skilled at quickly mastering new or existing systems to identify and implement efficiencies. I balance analytical rigor with a hands-on approach—equally comfortable providing high-level decision support or getting into the weeds of daily bank reconciliations, AP/AR, and workflow automation.
Known for sound judgment in resource-constrained environments, strong work ethic, and translating complex financial information into clear, actionable guidance for owners and clients.
