CMG Financial Solutions™ Expands CMG 360™ Certified Advisor Network, Names Jim Edmondson Operations Partner

Alpharetta, Ga.  ·  July 15, 2026

CMG Financial Solutions™, a fractional CFO and M&A advisory firm serving owner-led companies, today announced the expansion of its CMG 360™ Certified Advisor network with the appointment of Jim Edmondson as Operations Partner and CMG 360™ Certified Advisor. The addition strengthens the firm's ability to take owner-led businesses from diagnosis through execution, pairing three decades of financial and deal leadership with deep operational infrastructure experience.

The CMG 360™ Certified Advisor network extends the firm's proprietary diagnostic, the CMG 360™ Assessment, which reads a business from the inside out and returns a scored, benchmarked plan an owner can act on. As the network grows, each certified advisor brings a specialized seat to the same shared method, so owners get consistent, diagnostic-led counsel rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist.

Edmondson brings more than 30 years of operational infrastructure experience and has guided operations through two company exits, with M&A experience from both the buy and sell sides. As Operations Partner, he fills the operational and organizational-development seat that complements the firm's financial and strategic advisory work.

Owners do not need one more opinion. They need someone who can see the whole business and stay until the fix is real.

Don King, CPA, CMA, founder of CMG Financial Solutions™

Founder Don King, CPA, CMA, has spent more than 30 years in the CFO and CEO chair and has closed nearly $350 million in M&A transactions. He said Edmondson's addition reflects a deliberate build: growing a network of certified advisors so the firm's diagnostic-led method can reach more owner-led companies without diluting the standard behind it.

The work starts with the real issue, not a template. The CMG 360™ method gives owners an honest read and a plan they can execute, and that is what drew me to it.

Client Reference

The read owners actually use.

"When we engaged CMG Financial Solutions for the CMG360 assessment, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the process moved faster than I anticipated, without sacrificing depth. What impressed me most was how well the CMG 360 Platform understood the nuances of our industry and our specific business. This wasn't a generic report. The results didn't just confirm what we already suspected about our operation; they surfaced several things we hadn't considered, giving us a clearer, more complete picture of where we stand. I'd recommend the CMG360 assessment to any leader who wants a fast, insightful, and genuinely objective read on their business."
