88% of buyers start on Google, but if your firm isn’t showing up, you don’t exist.⚠️

Referrals won’t scale. SEO alone won’t save you. And “trying out” paid ads without a strategy? That’s just burning cash.

In this episode of CFO Chronicles, we’re joined by Jeremy Estey of Amber Sky Marketing, a Google Ads strategist helping firms across North America get seen, clicked, and hired. We unpack the hard truths firms need to hear in 2025, including:

• Why Google Ads now outperform SEO by default
• How to spend just $500 and actually get real insights
• The search terms your next CFO client is already typing
• Why vague, generalist messaging is killing your ROI
• What AI-powered search means for your visibility (and what to do now)

If you’ve ever said, “We tried ads and they didn’t work,” this episode will show you exactly why, and how to fix it.

In this episode, I sit down with Michael Straza of Straza Consulting to unpack what actually holds back firms from reaching the next level and why more sales won’t fix a broken structure.

• Why poor delegation crushes growth (and team morale)
• How Straza helped firms jump from $5M to $15M, then rebuilt profit
• Real stories of operational friction, founder bottlenecks, and burnouts
• How to tell if your company’s outgrown its team (and what to do next)
