Multimillionaire Fractional CFO Shares How To Turn Multimillion Dollar Idea To Multimillion Dollar Business - Heather Parsons and Lily Patrascu Heather Parsons has managed companies with more than $200 million in annual spending as the founder and CEO of Summit CFO, a fractional CFO firm based in Nashville, Tennessee. She helps entrepreneurs scale their businesses by reverse-engineering finances to align with long-term goals, whether for a successful exit or sustained growth. Heather emphasizes the importance of building a strong team, tracking key financial metrics like net income and cash flow, and leveraging creative financing options such as venture capital or strategic investors. She also advises entrepreneurs to focus on branding consistency, value-driven networking, and scalable revenue streams like group coaching and courses to maximize profitability. About The Guest Heather Parsons is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Summit CFO, a fractional CFO firm based in Nashville, Tennessee. Offering on-demand guidance and back-end leadership to help small-business entrepreneurs create their ideal financial conditions, Parsons boasts 10 years of expertise in business operations and corporate accounting, and began Summit after a successful career at a series of major accounting firms and Fortune 100 companies where she often managed more than $200 million of annual spending.

An Air Force veteran with a small-town rural background and Masters degrees in Accounting and Business Administration, Parsons is also an outdoor junkie with a straight-talking, disciplined work ethic, dedicated to helping others reach their full potential.
