More Than 30 Years of Financial and Business Experience
With more than 30 years of experience in finance, business ownership, and strategic consulting, Carol Nolan brings a practical, hands-on perspective to helping growing businesses become financially stronger and more profitable.
As the founder of CPN & Associates, Carol works closely with business owners who are successful at what they do but may not have the financial insight, systems, or strategic support they need to make confident decisions about the future of their companies.
Her experience spans investment management, business ownership, financial consulting, and Fractional CFO services. That background allows her to look beyond the numbers on a financial statement and help business owners understand what those numbers are actually telling them about their business.
“Financial expertise is most valuable when it leads to better decision-making.”
Turning Financial Insight Into Better Decisions
Carol built CPN & Associates around the belief that financial expertise is most valuable when it leads to better decision-making. Once she has analyzed and evaluated a client's business, she works alongside the owner to identify opportunities, address challenges, and make strategic decisions based on the underlying fundamentals of the business.
Helping Business Owners Answer the Important Questions
Carol helps clients answer the questions that often become more complicated as a company grows:
“Are we truly profitable?
Where is our cash going?
Are we pricing correctly?
Are our people and resources being used efficiently?
Can we afford to grow?
And perhaps most importantly—are the decisions we are making today creating a stronger business for the future?”
Through cash flow management and forecasting, budgeting, profitability and pricing analysis, KPI development, productivity analysis, and ongoing strategic financial guidance, Carol helps turn financial information into practical business decisions.
A Collaborative and Straightforward Approach
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She believes business owners shouldn't have to become financial experts—but they should understand their financial position well enough to make informed, confident decisions.
