Our Story
For the past 25 years, we have refined our Fractional CFO+ offering, remaining dedicated to creating real and lasting impact for business owners.
Where it Started
In 2000, our founding partners, Stan Stawowski and Brian McGill saw a gap in how financial services supported entrepreneurs. Too much of it was reactive, focused on year-ends and tax returns, and not enough on the decisions that actually move a business forward.
Stawowski McGill was designed with a different purpose: to walk alongside private business owners all year long, helping them navigate growth, uncertainty, and opportunity. What started as a bold idea, charging monthly flat fees and offering hands-on financial partnership, was unheard of at the time. Our early clients put their trust in something new, and we proved ourselves by rolling up our sleeves and showing them our commitment.
From 2006 to 2011, partners Dave Tadman, Josh Ronald, and Karen Knowlton joined the firm, and the team has continued to grow with senior advisors and associates who share the same belief that working with businesses is about more than numbers; it’s about relationships, clarity, and solving real problems.
Today, we continue to work the way we always have. We aim to support the business, but also the people behind it, because we know that’s where the real impact happens.
We’re incredibly grateful for the trust and support of our clients, partners, and friends over the years. We look forward to the next 25.
