"Joan was Cloud Cruiser’s Consulting CFO from 2012 to 2015 She worked on a half time basis via a consulting arrangement and was responsible for all accounting, financial operations and FPA modeling.  Joan did an amazing job helping our tiny company through the very challenging period of growing up from a toddler to an adolescent.  She was very easy to work with and was extremely responsive.  I would recommend Joan to any CEO who is in a similar stage company as she can be your one stop shop for CFO needs."

Joan was a tremendous asset as we launched and grew KarmaWell.  She continually went above and beyond and though she was our part-time CFO, she was always available and truly a core part of our day-to-day leadership team.  Joan’s knowledge of the financial playing field put us at ease from day one and her network throughout the Silicon Valley leverages influencers and leaders in key areas to compliment Joan’s role as CFO from legal support to VC funding.  Beyond her expertise as a financial strategists & executer she was able to play at the highest levels while making even the most complicated concepts bite-sized and easy to grasp.  I not only have total faith in Joan as a CFO, but I now consider her a friend and enjoyed working with her as part  of the KarmaWell team.
