What Our Clients Are Saying

David Thompson
David Thompson
Owner, Mascot Junction
I'm very glad we invited Eric onto our team. Mascot Junction is a fairly small, but growing, company and we were looking to bring someone on that could help us see over the horizon and develop a set of metrics and systems to monitor our financial health and help ensure greater success of reaching our goals. Eric was definitely the right person for the job. He rolled up his sleeves, learned our business quickly, and was pointing out areas of opportunity (and concerns) at our first meeting. While we were not big enough to justify the cost of a full-time CFO, we were growing fast enough that we needed more sophisticated financial management skills, so the Fractional CFO services offered through Sentinel Finance were a good solution for us.

I've had an excellent experience working with Eric. I've engaged Eric as my fractional controller to bring systems, organization and leadership to my bookkeeping team and he has done just that. He is direct, to the point and gets things done in a timely fashion. He leads our monthly financial meetings and presents all the information in an easy to understand fashion. I would highly recommend.

Eric was our CFO for 10 years. He provided monthly financial reporting to our board and helped our staff accountant with monthly closes. I was very happy with his expertise and leadership and I knew I could always count on him to answer my questions. It was really great to work with him and I highly recommend his company Sentinel Finance Group.
