    Chris Thomas - Blue Oak Consulting
    2026/10/09
    Chris Thomas, owner and fractional CFO of Blue Oak Consulting, joins Angi Burns for a conversation about what a fractional CFO actually does and how small business owners can get a clearer handle on their finances. Chris explains that he is not a CPA or a bookkeeper, but a strategic partner who manages the finance function and helps owners decide where they want their company to go. After a corporate career in manufacturing and industrial companies and a layoff, he started Blue Oak Consulting to help small businesses avoid the cash flow problems that close so many of them within two years. He works with companies in the $1 million to $25 million revenue range, with a focus on industrial manufacturing and trade businesses, and gets embedded with the leadership team. Chris also shares how he leads bank and line of credit efforts through small and mid-sized relationship banks, and why he has only adjusted his rates once. 🌟 Perfect For: Small business owners who feel they have plenty of revenue but little left on the net income lineOwners who lose sleep over making payroll or managing cash flowBusiness owners who are not sure what a fractional CFO does or how it differs from a CPA or bookkeeperIndustrial manufacturing and trade company owners with $1 million to $25 million in revenueOwners planning to buy equipment, add staff, open a new facility, or grow into new territoryBusiness owners preparing to apply for a loan or line of creditBookkeepers, CPAs, business coaches, and bankers looking for referral partners for their clientsAnyone who has stared at a P&L or balance sheet and wondered what it all means 🎟 What You'll Learn in This Episode: What a fractional CFO does and why it is different from a CPA or an accountantHow Chris's three pillars of cash flow, profitability, and strategy guide his workWhy cash flow forecasting, loan restructuring, and bank relationships matter when payroll is on the lineWhy small business owners often undervalue their services by not updating their sales pricingHow one client's pricing went unreviewed for two years and dropped from a 30% target to 5%How budgeting, forecasting, and equipment or facility decisions fit into the strategy side of the jobHow a layoff led Chris from a corporate career to starting Blue Oak ConsultingWhy so many small businesses fail within two years because of cash flow challengesWhy prospects often reach out only after months of struggle, and why earlier is betterWhat happens in a discovery call and why Chris asks for access to a company's accounting systemHow errors like a missing bank loan, credit card, or unbalanced balance sheet can hurt you when presenting to a lenderWhy the cheapest accounting solution is often not the best oneHow Chris gets embedded in the leadership team and leads bank efforts before handing off what only the owner can signWho makes a great referral partner, from business coaches and bankers to accountants and bookkeepers 💬 Memorable Quotes: "You don't know what you don't know until you don't know." "I wanted to put a dent in the small business world, a positive one." "Small businesses cannot afford a C-suite, and this is where the fractional part comes in." 📍 About Blue Oak Consulting: Blue Oak Consulting is a fractional CFO practice owned by Chris Thomas that helps small and mid-sized businesses manage their finance function and plan for growth. Rather than acting as a CPA, Chris oversees accounting and bookkeeping from an overall perspective and focuses on cash flow management, profitability, and financial strategy.

He typically becomes part of the leadership team, leading efforts such as securing loans or lines of credit with small and mid-sized, relationship-driven banks, and working alongside business coaches, bankers, accountants, and bookkeepers.

She also tells how her team gives back each year by volunteering haircuts for kids heading back to school with Local Good. 🌟 Perfect For: Anyone in Plano looking for a trusted hair salon with a welcoming, no-attitude atmosphereCurly hair clients searching for a stylist who truly knows how to cut and style curlsAnyone curious about hair extensions, how to care for them, and how often to maintain themNewly licensed stylists looking for a salon with real hands-on training and mentorshipSalon owners and small business owners figuring out what business model works for themFamilies who love the idea of generations of clients and stylists sharing the same salonNeighbors who want to support local businesses that give back to the communityAnyone planning a wedding or special event who needs on-location hair styling 🎟 What You'll Learn in This Episode: How Evelyn became a second generation hairdresser after a boutique layaway taught her how much she could earnWhy her daughter went from studying dance to becoming a third generation stylistHow the salon shifted from a hybrid commission and rental model to what works best for the businessHow the mentorship program trains new stylists right out of school with a transparent level systemWhy Evelyn waited so long to offer hair extensions and what changed her mindHow extensions can be a healthier way to add vivid color or lighter ends than dyeing natural hairWhy extensions need more frequent care in summer and what to avoid, like wearing them in the ocean or spraying sunscreen on themWhy hands-on training matters more than online courses for building a stylist's skillsHow the team creates duplicatable haircuts so stylists can build long-term client relationshipsWhy a haircut has to fit your hair texture and the time you have to style it at homeHow the salon handles blowouts, updos, and on-location wedding and event hairHow the salon takes the Parker and Preston location, 3,000 square feet, and 21 years in business into account when welcoming clientsHow the team volunteers with Local Good to give back to school haircuts to childrenWhere to take the hair longevity quiz to find out if extensions or treatments are right for you 💬 Memorable Quotes: "I am a second generation hairdresser.

    Julie Barlow - Transworld Business Advisors
    2026/07/24

    Julie Barlow, business broker with Transworld Business Advisors, joins Angi Burns for an on-site conversation about the art and strategy of buying and selling small businesses. With three years as a broker, prior experience owning three brick-and-mortar businesses, and 20 years in real estate, Julie shares how she acts as a "professional matchmaker" for main street businesses, helping owners uncover hidden value, prepare a smart exit, and connect buyers with the right opportunity.


    🌟 Perfect For:

    • Business owners thinking about selling in the next one to three years
    • Entrepreneurs dreaming of buying an established business instead of starting from scratch
    • Owners considering closing their doors who may not realize their business has value
    • Franchise owners, tradespeople, and main street business operators planning an exit
    • Anyone curious about how business valuations, SBA lending, and broker deals actually work
    • Owners who want to strategically increase the value of their business before selling


    🎟 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

    • Why you should talk to a business broker before deciding to shut your doors
    • How Julie's "professional matchmaking" process pairs the right buyer with the right business
    • Which industries are hottest right now (spoiler alert: it's HVAC, plumbing, med spas, and manufacturing)
    • What goes into a business valuation, from net income and margins to customer concentration
    • Why three years of clean financials matter and how bookkeepers, CPAs, and fractional CFOs fit in
    • How employees, contracts, vendors, and franchisor approvals transfer during a sale
    • Why "social currency" (social media, Google My Business, and reviews) impacts sale price
    • What SBA lenders look for in a buyer's relevant or transferable experience


    💬 Memorable Quotes:
    "I often call it professional matchmaking for businesses because a lot of times, there's not a perfect ideal buyer for every business."
    "Before you make the decision to close your doors, come talk to me because your business may have value that you're unaware of."
    "If you wanna sell in the next year, you need to talk to me now."


    📍 About Transworld Business Advisors:
    Transworld Business Advisors specializes in helping people buy and sell main street and small businesses, acting as the intermediary who brings buyers and sellers together and handles the entire transaction, from valuation to closing.
