“My early life as a baseball scout and then as an executive with Baseball Prospectus taught me an approach that helps my clients grow and thrive. Think about it: Data-driven, performance-focused, passion for the job, and team building. These are the hallmarks of a great team, be it on the diamond or in the corporate offices, and the way we help you catalyze business growth and succeed.” – Joe Hamrahi

A new video podcast for business leaders and founders with host CFJoe – Joe Hamrahi, CEO of Finstrat CFO and author of Diamond Decisions on Substack.
Keep Going features diverse guests who share their own stories of the highs and lows of their business careers along with actionable advice for anyone striving for success. The show explores resiliency, reinvention and leadership in uncertain business times.
Ron DeFeo, VP and Chief Commercial Officer for American Airlines talks leadership and business during turbulent times with Host Joe Hamrahi.
Joe Hamrahi is the Founder and CEO of FinStrat CFO, a company he has instilled with his mission to turns financial chaos into clarity—one spreadsheet, forecast, and “aha” moment at a time.
Known as CFJoe (short for “Chief Fixer”… and yes, CFO too), Joe helps founders, operators, and growing teams understand their numbers without the headaches, jargon, or awkward silences. His superpower? Making finance feel less like a root canal and more like a roadmap. Before launching FinStrat CFO, Joe built a reputation for stepping into complex businesses and quickly bringing structure, strategy, and sanity to the books over a 30-year career of executive expertise in financial strategy, business transformation, and future-oriented leadership. He was the Chief Financial Officer at Highwire and before that played a pivotal role in the growth of M Booth, one of New York’s premier communications agencies.
Joe co-chaired the PR Council’s COO/CFO community and remains an active member of the S.I. Newhouse School Public Relations Practitioners Group at Syracuse University. He is dedicated to mentoring the next generation of leaders, ensuring they are well-equipped to thrive in an increasingly complex business environment.
Today, he blends real-world CFO experience with a practical, human approach—because he knows that behind every P&L is a person trying to build something meaningful.
When he’s not optimizing cash flow or translating financials into plain English, you’ll find Joe mentoring entrepreneurs, exploring new business ideas, or reminding clients that yes—numbers can be fun (or at least far less scary).

Business should be fun
As a company, we are constantly looking for modern tools to help businesses innovate and improve. Artificial intelligence is everywhere these days. It’s a fact of modern financial life.
