Sam is the principal of GFlow Partners. Before fractional CFO work, he spent about a decade operating in American youth soccer — running a club, navigating non-profit and for-profit structures, dealing with messy real-world financials. Before that, he worked in private equity. The mix is uncommon: PE pattern-matching, real operating scars, and a CFO toolkit. He writes and records about youth soccer finance not because soccer clubs are his target clients, but because it's where he has the authority to be specific about how money actually moves through complicated organizations. Clients hire him because they want that quality of thinking applied to their own books.
