⚡Choosing a CFO Advisor? Compare This Before You Decide

As Founder & CFO of FPG-USA, Richard Kahn brings decades of business leadership, court-tested forensic expertise, and elite QuickBooks Online mastery — a combination estimated to be shared by fewer than 0.05% of U.S. practitioners, (Multiple Online Search & AI Results, see TOC #2 below).

 
In a market full of CFO advisors, forensic accountants, and bookkeepers, finding one professional — and one firm — that delivers all three disciplines at the highest level is almost impossible. That’s why making the right choice now can save years of cost, confusion, and missed opportunity later.

1. 🎯 Why This Combination Is Rare

  • Most QBO ProAdvisors focus only on bookkeeping.

  • Most CFO advisors come from corporate finance without forensic experience.

  • Very few have built, run, and sold companies — and fewer still can defend financials in court.

  • Richard Kahn bridges all of these worlds, combining tactical, strategic, and court-ready expertise in one seat at your table.

5. 🥋 From the Ring and Witness Stand to the Boardroom

  • Toughness under pressure – Regulators, the IRS, auditors, CEOs, shareholders — I don’t cave when stakes are high.

  • Proven in competition – National martial arts wins happen in the ring, where skill, focus, and resilience are tested.

  • Courtroom endurance – Testified under oath and submitted forensic filings in 36 states (full credentials) — surviving voir dire, aggressive opposing counsel, investigator scrutiny, and prevailing every time.

  • Winning mindset – Like stepping into the ring and winning ›, taking the witness stand demands precision, composure, and timing under fire.

 

Leaders who can fight — in both mental and physical arenas — are rare. That’s the mindset I bring to every engagement.
