Summary

Duke Heninger's journey from CFO to acquisition entrepreneur is a tale of resilience, adaptation, and learning. Taking on a failing restoration company, Duke faced the steep challenges of an industry built on trust and relationships, grappling with cash flow issues and operational hurdles. 

An unexpected large job opportunity provided a lifeline, allowing him to stabilize the business temporarily. However, the relentless challenges of sales, finances, and the impacts of COVID-19 led 
Duke to a critical decision: selling the company. 

This journey, filled with regret, trials, taught him invaluable lessons on due diligence, cash forecasting, and the essence of building genuine relationships. 

Now a fractional CFO, Duke's experiences have equipped him to guide other entrepreneurs through their financial challenges with empathy and effectiveness. #Entrepreneurship #Resilience #BusinessGrowth #Leadership
