With decades of Wall Street experience, Brian shares how he bridges institutional financial expertise with Main Street businesses, helping them secure funding, streamline operations, and scale strategically. He also dives into the evolving role of CFOs in the AI era and why personalized advisory remains irreplaceable despite automation.
