The CFO's & Controller's Best Friend

Matt has been a Managing Partner of The Financial Executives Consulting Group (www.The FECG.com) since its founding in January, 1999. Since 1996 he has also served as Chairman of The Financial Executives Networking Group (ww.TheFENG.com), an organization founded in 1991 and dedicated to providing senior level financial executives with a forum to share job opportunities and experiences.

Among the first to recognize the power of the Internet as a communication tool, Matt has grown The FENG from a Westport, Connecticut based organization of 60 members in December of 1996 to presently 35,000 members spread across the entire United States and Internationally. The FENG has 85 Chapters and 35 Special Interest Groups. Every major city in the USA has at least one Chapter as does London and Toronto.

Featured in the January 21, 2003 edition of The Wall Street Journal, and interviewed by Seth Doane of CBS Evening News in January, 2009 for a piece on “The Other America,” The FENG is recognized as the world’s largest networking group for senior financial professionals.

For 9 years Matt was Chief Financial Officer of Levine, Huntley, Schmidt & Beaver, at one time the 29th largest U.S. based Advertising Agency. In his first two years he transformed a firm that had been breaking even for most of its existence into an organization capable of returning a consistent 20%+ pretax profit. At the same time he created a first class back office operation to service a firm that was growing 25%+ annually.

In addition, Matt has 15 years of experience in Publishing and Broadcasting, 6 years with The Thomson Corporation and 9 years with CBS, Inc., and 2 years of retailing experience with B. Altman & Company.

Matt has an MBA in Finance from New York University and a B.S. in Finance from Indiana University.

Matt’s passion of sailing has taught him the importance of helping everyone. The lesson of life he would share with you is: “The more you help other people, the more you help yourself.”
