Testimonials:

Here's what some of our satisfied clients have to say about Club Capital's CFO Services:

  • “My experience with Club Capital has been instrumental in my ability to take care of my employees, manage expenses, and pay off debt, all while growing my business and giving me and my family the opportunity for success both now and into the future.  Ronit has been an exceptional account manager.  He has expertise suited to giving specific recommendations and advice that pays off.  Also, having access to good data has allowed me to benchmark my business alongside other successful businesses, and having the data provided through the CFO Services allows me to confidently run my business. I am spending more on marketing and investing more in my team while cutting costs in other areas and my business is growing faster than it ever has before.  Morale in my office is at an all time high. Thank you to Ronit and the team at Club Capital!”

  • “Club Capital has been an absolute pleasure to work with since 1.5 years ago. I feel well taken care of in our (quarterly) meetings with my Account Manager Lee Walker! My accounting experience has been improved immensely. Our CFO meetings have helped me make better decisions such as budgeting and getting a clearer picture of what will drive profitability.”

  • “I had been thinking about moving to Club Capital for a while and finally made the change at the beginning of 2023. What put me over the edge was understanding what their CFO services were and how I could be in better control of my business.  You watch Shark Tank or CNBC’s The Profit and you realize how much the best business people “know their numbers.”  I did not. I have had 3 calls with Ronit Patel, my CFO, and I have never felt more financially in control of my business than I do now.  For the first time I have clear targets of what I am aiming to achieve and have a better grasp of cash flow and future projections that will help grow my agency into the future. This change, particularly the CFO services has been huge for me operating as an owner with eyes toward the future.”

  • "I’ve been working with Club capital just shy of 18 months now and have nothing but good things to say about them.  I use them for tax and CFO services – both of which I recommend. If you want the most out of them, sign up for CFO."
