PHOENIX, Nov 12, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- B2B CFO®, the nation's largest CFO services firm exclusively focused on servicing small and mid-size companies, has reached a major milestone this month. Already the fastest growing CFO services firm in the nation, B2B CFO® has passed the 100 Partners mark, expanding the firm's reach into 42 states.

Jerry L. Mills founded the company in Phoenix in 1987. Mills established the company with a determined philosophy to put integrity, ethics, and the needs of small businesses above all. The philosophy proved to be successful as evidenced by the firm's steady growth. By the 1990s, the firm expanded its presence into the southwest and in early 2005 the company had gained national prominence following expansions in its service portfolio and geographic coverage.

In 2008, B2B CFO® experienced record growth. The number of Partners has doubled since January of 2007, and revenues increased 70 percent during this period. The firm's geographic reach encompasses all major markets in the US.

"By any measure B2B CFO® continues to thrive and grow," said Jerry L. Mills, CEO and founder. "Even the current economy is fueling our growth. More than ever, business owners understand the value of having an experienced CFO on their team and the importance of professional advice on cash flow management, lending practices and credit."

The success behind B2B CFO® is due to the firm's unique model. There is no contract for business owners to sign or long-term obligation to enter into. The Partners, who average 25 years of senior financial experience, serve as trusted long-term business advisors that stay in a part-time CFO role with their clients for a number of years. They work strategically to improve profits and provide national partnership resources to the individual business. Resources include the latest technical software, investment banking and lending relationships. Each Partner is supported by more than 2,000 years of collective CFO experience in the firm.

Collectively, the firm's Partners service more than 500 small and mid-size businesses at any time. The demand for the part-time CFO services is directly impacting the rapid increase in the number of Partners. Experienced professionals across the country are looking for career opportunities that offer a mix of entrepreneurship with the stability of an established national firm.

"Every company, regardless of its size, needs a CFO," said Mills. "Our model creates a win-win for the business owner and the Partners."

In addition to increasing the number of Partners and geographic reach, B2B CFO® has expanded its service capabilities. The firm now offers "Finding the Exit," a guided process to help entrepreneurs successfully sell their business. A B2B CFO® Partner coaches the business owner through a strategic process that ends in a high-profit sale.

The firm also launched a service providers' forum. B2B CFO® is forming strategic alliances with select companies that further augment resources offered to the firm's clients. Woodbridge Group, Inc., a marketing-driven M&A firm that provides divestiture and acquisition services to middle market companies, signed as the first service provider in October 2008.

"As we continue our growth, we will further enhance the depth of our resources and programs. Our goal is to always be on the forefront and bring solutions that benefit our Partners and our clients," added Mills.

KEVIN CAMPBELL, CPA JOINS AS PARTNER IN MEMPHIS METRO AREA BRINGING CFO SERVICES TO SMALL AND MID-SIZE BUSINESSES

MEMPHIS, TN (Sept. 8, 2008) -- B2B CFO® (B2B), the nation’s largest CFO firm that provides services to small and mid-size companies, announced today that Kevin Campbell, CPA has joined the firm as Partner. Campbell will provide part-time CFO services to growth-oriented businesses in Memphis and the surrounding areas. He is the firm’s first Partner in the area.

A B2B Partner is a trusted business advisor similar to an attorney or an outside CPA. Unlike a full-time or interim CFO, a B2B CFO® Partner works to create a long-term professional relationship. Interim and full-time CFOs typically stay with a company for a short period of time, often as few as 12 to 17 months while a B2B CFO® Partner stays long-term.

Campbell brings over 24 years of financial and accounting experience. Prior to joining B2B, Campbell was Senior Vice President-Chief Financial Officer at Valocity, a nationwide provider of residential real estate valuation services headquartered in Germantown, Tennessee. Previously Campbell has held progressive management positions with companies in the private equity and banking fields in addition to his public accounting experience.

Jerry L. Mills, CEO and Founder of B2B CFO® said: “We are delighted that Kevin has joined our partnership. He is a highly accomplished finance and accounting professional and is a great addition to our firm.”

Campbell will focus his practice on helping owners of small to mid-size businesses in the Memphis area increase cash, profitability, sales and company value.
