I’m Danny Donaldson. I work with growth-minded entrepreneurs who want to make clear, confident decisions about their business, capital, and next phase of growth.

My background spans proprietary trading, real estate investment, acquisitions, and strategic finance. Over the last two decades, I’ve operated in environments where decisions had real consequences — markets moved fast, capital was at risk, and clarity mattered.

After leaving the trading world, I transitioned into real estate and operating businesses, acquiring and optimizing multimillion-dollar portfolios, structuring complex deals, and raising capital. Along the way, one pattern repeated itself:

Most owners don’t struggle because they lack opportunity.

They struggle because they lack financial clarity.

Today, my work is focused on helping founders move from clean books to real financial control — so decisions around cash, growth, risk, and optionality become intentional rather than reactive.

Strategic CFO Consulting exists to provide financial leadership, not just accounting.
