My name is Benjamin Wann, CMA, CSCA, MBA, PMP, & CPA

At my core, I am a Small Business & Manufacturing Product Cost Expert. Today, I am the proud owner of Asheville, NC accounting/consulting firm CFO Consultants, LLC, with a team of 11; serving 450 customers!

Originally from the Philadelphia region and coming from a 10-year career providing insights to executives of mid-sized manufacturing firms, I transitioned to entrepreneurship full-time in November 2022. 

My thesis is that the small business community values the same expertise, technology and know-how that large organizations have to help accelerate their own businesses.

Typically, I’ve found, CPA or bookkeeping firms provide too little, too late, to help business owners make smart decisions. 

I am passionate about supporting the small business community with specialized services to help business owners understand their financials and feel like they have the expertise they need to thrive.

They provide a flexible, fast-track method for early-stage companies to secure funding without fixed maturity or interest accruals. However, they introduce new considerations, like valuation caps and discount rates. Although SAFE Notes simplify investor-startup interactions and optimize the funding process, they can significantly affect startups’ future valuation and control, necessitating careful planning and legal advice.
