After getting her MBA in corporate finance and investments at Texas Christian University and a quick stint at a hedge fund, she found herself helping her family establish a new firm, which hit the seven-figure mark within eighteen months. Soon thereafter, she started talking to other small business owners who asked, “Can you do for us what you do for your family?” This is when Brooke realized that most owners don’t run their companies by the numbers. They are making decisions based on their gut, and that causes a lot of anxiety — not to mention a loss of profitability. With that insight, Brooke started Cathcap, a fractional CFO company designed to maximize profitability. Since 2013, Brooke and her team have helped hundreds of firms make data-driven decisions to drive faster growth and more predictability in their businesses. As a CFO, Brooke looks at every part of a business that touches the money — and that’s the whole thing. This eventually led her to become an EOS Implementer®. Through EOS, Brooke helps firms gain clarity on their vision, discipline, and accountability to increase traction and develop a healthy, functional leadership team.
