CLIENTS SUCCESS STORIES

Working with Chris Thomas of Blue Oak Consulting has been one of the most valuable experiences for my business. The Profit Accelerator process helped me gain real clarity about my numbers and uncover opportunities I hadn’t seen before. His guidance was practical, straightforward, and focused on results, not theory. I came away with a stronger grasp of my financial drivers and a clear plan to grow profitably. I highly recommend Blue Oak Consulting to any business owner who wants to understand their business better and make confident, profitable decisions.

Founder, BStrong Marketing

Chris always made himself available, especially in multimillion-dollar capital projects where his advice was crucial to the overall strategy. Chris led many cross-functional tears with the Division Leadership Team. His financial insight is one that is not very common which is due to his experience and knowledge. I recommend Chris to any corporation and am glad to have worked with him as I have learned more than I can imagine from him.

Chris is an excellent asset to our businesses. He demonstrates exceptional financial acumen and has created a strategic approach to our financial management that has significantly benefited the TBK companies overall. He has streamlined financial operations, optimized the budget process, and enhanced profitability. He has helped provide insight to financial reporting and cash flow management as well. I highly recommend!!

Susan Anderson

Owner/Founder, TBK Environmental and TBK One

Chris Thomas has been an invaluable strategic partner for Peak Growth Center during our expansion phase. His expertise as a Fractional CFO went far beyond financial management – he identified key profit opportunities we hadn’t seen and implemented practical systems that immediately improved our cash flow. What truly sets Chris apart is his international perspective and ability to navigate cross-border financial complexities. His insights into both U.S. and European markets proved essential as we developed our time arbitrage business model between Germany and Florida […] I highly recommend Chris to any organization looking to accelerate profitability while building a sustainable financial foundation across international markets.
