CHICAGO (August 6, 2024) – Third Road Management, a pioneer in the booming fractional financial services industry, is pleased to announce the formation of its Executive Advisory Board, which will provide strategic guidance and support as the company continues to expand and push boundaries with its re-imagined CFO suite.

“Our model is working. We are leveling the playing field for growing businesses, proving that the fractional leadership model is a better solution,” said John Frank, Founder and CEO, Third Road Management. “Since 2015, we have been at the forefront of pioneering fractional CFO services and, in that time, have revolutionized how small to mid-sized organizations view and manage their financial operations. The formation of this executive advisory board represents the next big step forward for us.”
Third Road Management’s Executive Advisory Board members include:
- Haven Allen, CEO and co-founder of mHUB, the nation’s largest independent HardTech and manufacturing center, and managing partner of the Product Impact Fund.
