"Small businesses deserve the same financial clarity that boardrooms get — without hiring a full-time CFO to get it."
For more than twenty years, Shannon Garrison has sat at the table where the biggest financial decisions get made — leading accounting and finance for private equity–backed companies, guiding refinancings and audits, and building finance functions from the ground up. She's a CPA with a Big Four foundation at Deloitte, PwC, and EY, and two decades of experience spanning restaurant franchising, entertainment, hospitality, and industrial operations.
Finance Revitalized brings that same caliber of leadership to founder-led and growing businesses — cleaning up the books, building the reporting, and turning tax season from a scramble into a formality.
Shannon Garrison, CPA — Founder, Finance Revitalized
Messy books, backlogged reconciliations, and unclear numbers slow everything down. I bring the same rigor used auditing PE-backed companies to your financial foundation — so tax time becomes a formality, not a fire drill.
Once your books are clean, the real work begins. I build the forecasts, budgets, and dashboards that show where the business actually makes money — so you can make faster, better decisions about hiring, pricing, and where to invest next.
I talk through where your finances stand today and where you want the business to go.
A hands-on review of your books, systems, and processes to see what's working — and what isn't.
You get a straightforward roadmap: what needs fixing, in what order, and what it will take.
I step in to execute — cleaning up the books, building the reporting, and staying on as a trusted advisor.
Supported the refinancing of senior debt — proof of the lender and bank relationships working on your behalf.
Contributed to tripling EBITDA at a portfolio company by deep-diving into COGS and spending patterns — building better cost discipline that turned into sustained margin growth.
