Strategic advisory for owner-led companies, $5M to $100M, working as your fractional CFO and M&A advisor. The symptoms surface in the financials; the real issues live elsewhere. We isolate them, value them, prioritize them, and fix them.
CMG Financial Solutions is an outcome-focused strategic advisory firm that works as your fractional CFO and M&A advisor. We were built on a simple realization: smaller businesses face issues as complex as large companies, but rarely have the processes and tools to identify and address them. We help leadership understand the financials and the financial impact of the decisions they are making, and we build the foundation that lets the business manage operations, working capital, costs, and capital investment with clarity.
We go deep, not broad. We execute, not just advise. We stay engaged until the outcomes are realized.
Most businesses are world-class at one thing and tend to underperform everywhere else. We call it Random Excellence™. The CMG 360™ Assessment reads the business inside and out, with COMPASS™ scoring seven operational domains and BEACON™ reading the market around it. Then we work the issues in four steps.

Don King has been brought in to run companies that were already in distress, so he knows what broken looks like from the inside.
He wrote the book on it, Finding True North™, and donates 100% of the proceeds to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
