With extensive experience in the banking industry and a deep understanding of its complexities, Manny is a forward-thinking individual and a team player who works hard to grasp the challenges that officers and executives of an organization face. Over the past couple of years, Manny has successfully helped us maintain compliance with our covenants, uphold relationships with our third-party auditors, and led us through a seamless transition to a new banking relationship.

“In 2011, our companies suffered a major loss when my business partner and best friend died suddenly. Since my partner had previously handled much of the financials, I was left to handle the day to day operations of the businesses and deal with his loss. It was a very difficult time. We were in desperate need to get the books in order and deal with the possibility of having to find a new bank since several bank loans had come due. With the help of Manny Skevofilax, we were able straighten out our books and get comfortable managing our financials in their entirety. Not only that, but due to his good reputation in the banking industry and expertise with business consulting, we were also able to salvage our existing banking relationship. We are extremely grateful to Manny and would highly recommend him to other business owners.”

“Adding Manny as our outsourced CFO is one of the main reasons EntreQuest has been able to increase the net profit margin significantly this year. Too often business owners are so involved “in the business” that they never take the time to work “on the business” and truly analyze their business model. Manny not only challenged our thinking, he used his experience and expertise to implement a sound financial plan that drove both the top and bottom line dramatically. It is truly one of the most profitable investments EntreQuest has ever made.”

“After many disappointing interviews with financial groups and being very frustrated because of an unclear vision on how we were going to move from point A to point B on a financial level, finally Manny was suggested to us by another working in this frustrating World of Finance. When we met with Manny he immediately began laying out the steps of what needed to be done and how we were going to accomplish our goals. We look forward to our monthly meetings, it’s filled with blunt honesty, a shot of adrenaline and encouragement at the same time. His attitude and presentation of our goals do not seem impossible but within reach. We see a long lasting relationship with Manny. Thanks Manny!”

“Portal CFO Consulting and its owner, Manny Skevofilax have been an integral part of the success of Nightmare Graphics since 2011. Manny has been a mentor and friend in helping to turn around a 33 year old company that had to rebound from the recession of 2009 and 2010. His knowledge and experience in all matters financial have returned the company to its former prosperity in just three years.

Manny has also used his vast network of colleagues to help Nightmare Graphics secure the best in merchant services, healthcare options, and accounting professionals. Our overall expenses have been reduced in the thousands thanks to Manny’s contacts.

Manny is not just a financial statistician, but a strategist who wants to hear all the options before recommending a move or direction the company may want to pursue. We rarely make a significant purchase or marketing decision without Manny’s approval.

It has been a pleasure working with Manny and I am sure with his continued guidance, Nightmare Graphics will remain a stronghold in the community and throughout the United States. I can’t thank Manny enough for all that he has done.”

“Manny has been instrumental in providing a convergence between the financial and technology vision of Trusted Technologies. Manny’s financial guidance, leadership, and expertise have brought comfort to the Trusted Technologies’ Executive Staff as the company seeks to achieve the next level of its business projections while also managing explosive growth. Beyond Manny’s integrity, he treats Trusted Technologies like his own. Too bad, we did not have Manny’s leadership from day one.”

“Manny and I met through a common client that was at a critical juncture in the business life cycle. Manny’s ability to analyze the balance sheet and income statement, make recommendations, and hold the business owner(s) accountable for those recommendations was crucial to helping the business turn around in a short period of time. Manny’s prior experience as a commercial banker allows him to have insight from both sides of the client/bank relationship.”

Manny has been critical to the success of our company. I did not plan on running a business. I have no special training. But with Manny’s guidance we have managed to grow our business every year while keeping cash flow and the balance sheet in excellent condition. I strongly recommend Manny to any entrepreneur looking to get away from all the financial admin it takes to run a company. During good times and turbulent times, Manny continues to be a trusted advisor.

“Manny and PORTAL CFO Services have been of great benefit to our company in serving as our virtual CFO.
