Mike McKenzie

I am an Interim CFO for private equity portfolio companies with revenues from $100 million to $5 billion.

Growing up in the private equity business on the debt and advisory side at Bankers Trust Company in New York in the 1980’s, I learned from the leaders, now patriarchs, of the PE industry - KKR, Blackstone, and Bain.

Clients hire me to keep the trains running, on time, and on track – vis-à-vis weekly cash flow reporting, cash flow forecasts, budgets, debt covenants, and stakeholder relations.

Clients also hire me for the wisdom of experience that only comes from having been inside the books and records of over 4,387 companies - including 137 restructurings, turnarounds, bankruptcies, and liquidations.

Educated at Northwestern University and The University of Chicago, with undergraduate degrees in physics and economics, an MBA in finance and accounting, and an MS in marketing and data science.
