Dan Platta
Dan Platta, commonly referred to by himself (and not really anyone else…) as, The Home Service CFO, is a bit of a RED-neck, beard turning WHITE, BLUE collar business nerd, and you can often times find him multitasking on his quickbooks app from a tree stand or boat. Dan is obsessive about 2 things: 1) helping business owners use their financial data to make better decisions and make more money, and 2) exercising just enough so all the crappy light beer that he drinks doesn’t catch up with him. Dan is pretty confident that he will be able to add some value to your business, and he is equally confident that he’ll be able to make it not super boring.
