The next frontier in finance is not just a person. It is a platform. At Wells Group, we are introducing the Wells Group CFO Platform: a model built for companies that need experienced finance leadership backed by real execution support. We are bringing together seasoned CFOs and Controllers with the infrastructure, team, and institutional finance capabilities needed to drive value creation, strategy, and results. We are also actively hiring experienced CFOs and Controllers for full-time and fractional opportunities. For full-time CFOs, compensation ranges from $250,000 to $400,000 salary plus bonus, based on experience, specialization, and client fit. Select full-time CFO roles may also include 2% to 5% equity upside, subject to role, client fit, and standard vesting. If you have led in public companies, private equity-backed businesses, or scaling growth companies, we would welcome a conversation. The fractional finance market has grown up. The next chapter belongs to platforms.

For thirty years, the Rema Hort Mann Fund has believed in possibility: the artist whose work is waiting to be discovered, and the life interrupted by cancer, with so much still to be lived. Manni spent three decades caring for children in intensive care. I have spent mine learning the value of believing in people before the wider world takes notice. The Fund is where those two commitments meet. On October 28, we are honored to be recognized at its 30th Anniversary Gala. Nothing would mean more than sharing that evening with you. Please join us.

Buying AI tools is the easy part. Changing how the business operates takes leadership. That means rethinking how work gets done, training your people and being honest about which roles need to change. It also means knowing where human judgment and experience matter most. As a CFO, I want to see the return. Are we moving faster? Making better decisions? Growing revenue without growing headcount at the same pace? That is how AI spending becomes a business investment with measurable results. I joined @dianekinghall on @schwabnetwork Morning Movers to discuss where AI spending goes next and what it means for the people running businesses.

AI is making “that’s how we’ve always done it” a very expensive answer. Every manual handoff, reporting cycle and hour spent moving data around deserves another look. For business owners, the opportunity is substantial: leaner teams, faster decisions and better margins. Getting there takes people who understand the business well enough to redesign the work. And accountability stays with you. If the numbers are wrong, “AI did it” is going to be a rough conversation with your board. I joined @dianekinghall on @schwabnetwork to discuss where AI spending goes next and what this shift means for businesses and their teams. Swipe for the takeaways.

AI can build the model. You still have to defend the assumptions. We’re heading into a world where smaller teams can do substantially more. Some jobs will disappear. Expectations for everyone else will rise. Knowing which questions to ask, catching a bad answer and having the judgment to make the call will carry a premium. I joined @dianekinghall on @schwabnetwork to talk about where AI spending goes next and how it changes the way we run businesses. I’m bullish. And I still check the work. Preview here. Full interview coming soon. #AI #WallStreet #Finance #SchwabNetwork #WellsGroup by @gboydwells

Find yourself a CFO who balances you out. 😂 @gboydwells and I have been through a LOT together over the last two years. When we talk about turning @hellofevo around, there wasn’t one magic decision or one moment where everything suddenly changed. It was hundreds of decisions. Some hard. Some uncomfortable. Some we debated endlessly. Some we got right. Some we had to pivot. We got disciplined. We focused. We stopped trying to do everything and got really clear about what mattered: grow the business and build a sustainable company. I’m usually the one saying, “Okay, but what if we did THIS too?” 😂 George is usually the one reminding me that math exists. And somewhere in between the two of us, it works. I’m incredibly proud of how far FEVO has come, but even more proud of how we got here, with a team that kept showing up, making hard decisions, adapting and believing in where we were going. We’re not done. Not even close. But the foundation is stronger, the direction is clear, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to have been in the trenches with. Build the team. Protect the house. Set the coordinates. George makes sure we can afford the coordinates and more. 😂💜 by @gboydwells

Twenty years after graduating from Stanford GSB, there was something pretty special about being back on The Farm for Museums by Moonlight as a Starlight Sponsor and museum board member. @cantorarts @anderson.collection.stanford Art has become such an important part of my life since my Stanford days, so to experience the Cantor and Anderson with old classmates adjacent to @stanfordgsb , colleagues, my “art wife,” and my “art child” felt a little full circle. @veronicacroberts has done an exemplary job and defied expectations to truly bring all aspects of the community together. The places matter, but the people you collect along the way matter even more. A beautiful night back at Stanford, surrounded by art, friendship, and a community that has stayed with me for two decades. ❤️🌲 taken in The Cantor Art Museum, Stanford by @gboydwells
