Experience working with Good Operator - Accounting, Finance, Tax, & Fractional CFO
Chase was supremely helpful and generous with not only his time but also his insights. He helped my team and I think big in regards to revenue and gave us super valuable advice rooted in his financial expertise. He really understands the bootstrapped experience and it shows.
We were able to gain a ton of value just from a few workshops with him and his energy was infectious.
I'd highly recommend linking up with this company if you need some fractional support, bookkeeping or just some plain ol' brainstorming.
Chase brings a ton of value up front. I really valued his commitment to fundamentals and the realities of bootstrapping a business.
You don't have to go at it alone, and having someone like Chase in your corner can be priceless. 10/10

Meet The Team Behind Good Operator - Accounting, Finance, Tax, & Fractional CFO
John Weiderman
Unflinchingly Can-Do
John is known for saying, "but what if that were just a button". He builds systems and processes that turn complicated calculations and manual entry into... well a button. His systems allow our team to spend less time on low value time suck activities and more time with clients talking through real challenges and creating real solutions. John is a fan of bourbon, Kentucky sports, and... buttons.
As GO's founder, Chase's experience can be found in every detail of the company. Originally a financial analyst, Chase led turnarounds for a global PE firm, ran Business Intelligence for a $100m healthcare company, and owned/operated bars and private ski hills in Japan and bike shops and cafes in LA. Chase's understanding of margins and cash flow are coded into every offering at Good Operator.
At Good Operator we prioritize not just financial chops, but real life business experience. Your CPAs can fill out a tax form, but have they run a brick & mortar business? Been forced to pivot to online? In addition to her Masters in Accounting, Rachel owned and ran her own gyms and knows better than most what a founder goes through every day. She's a client favorite and internal go-to.
Few things take more discipline and bias for action than long-distance running and Corey brings her runner's attitude to her client's businesses every day. There is seemingly always more in the tank for Corey and she works hard to deliver real, rubber-meets-road results. Clients feel she is a true partner in their business who genuinely cares about their success.
An absolute pro's pro, Erika is a Business Analyst at GO building forecasts, budgets, and just about anything else you need a spreadsheet to do. If blue-chip experience is what you're after she's got it with Bloomingdale's and Ross. If degrees are your thing, that's Georgetown and UNC paper on her wall (Valedictorian, bitches). But she knows- you're here for the results. Consider it done.
Based just outside of Denver, Sydney trains her analytical skills at altitude as a Business Analyst with Good Operator. On weekends she can be found packing backpacks and on weekdays unpacking financials. She is the go-to for her clients anytime they need projections, analysis, or just to understand what's going on. The only thing better than her playlists is her attitude.
We work best with people & businesses that fall into these categories.
