OUR SERVICES
THE TEAM
Scott Geller, Managing Partner, is a results-oriented, highly motivated Finance Chief with twenty years of unique experience. Scott has bank regulatory, audit, risk, and financial planning background at a large insurance company (Genworth Financial). Scott then served as the Chief Administrative Officer at a small technology and services Allianz company, Fusion Company. While at Fusion, Scott was responsible for CFO responsibilities including budgeting, pricing, planning, reporting, and accounting in addition to ERP, contracts, IT security, and office operations. Scott was deeply involved in a support and leadership capacity at Fusion from the initial spin-off from Allianz through the trials of creating an independent company, and preparing for and reacting to a new market. Scott then guided Fusion through the activities around insourcing Fusion’s capabilities and platform back in to an Allianz parent company, while winding down services with non-Allianz clients. His financial expertise at Capitis Advisors specializes in strategic positioning, modeling, pricing, and strong fiscal management with a different perspective from a risk and operational process background.
TESTIMONIALS
“Scott stepped in at an optimal time and early growth stage for Covintus, but we needed assistance in planning for the future to realize our potential. His immediate value was providing an actionable set of metrics allowing the team to measure our current situation and eventually develop goals critical for growth. The specific feature I valued was his flexibility of not just being a fractional CFO, but leaning in as a fractional executive whether it was sales, finance, operations, or coaching across the business. I would absolutely recommend or refer Scott to any growing company needing structure or scaling direction through his fractional services."
NICK BAWA / CEO and CO-FOUNDER / COVINTUS
“My team and I worked directly with Scott to develop the yearly budget for infrastructure. Scott asked the tough budgeting questions and was always fair with my team on determining the budget. I also worked closely with Scott in two other areas: commercial pricing models and legal contract review. I worked with Scott to develop fixed and variable costs that he utilized in the commercial pricing models he created. We also worked together in contract review to understand technical feasibility of client requests. In all instances, whether it was budgeting, commercial pricing, or contract review, Scott was always fair but he also always looked after the best interest of the organization first."
RANDY HILL / CIO, CTO / FUSION COMPANY
“Scott and I worked collaboratively at Fusion, an Allianz Company for 7 years and I found him a conscientious and very hard working professional. One of the main reasons Scott and I have been successful co-workers on almost every project that the company entrusted us with is his ability to delve into details. In his role as our Finance Officer, he came across many challenges and tackled them head-on with success. Scott has an innate ability to chart out our limitations."
