As Chairman of a board, I placed Steve in a role as CFO in a technology start up that was going through a period of exponential growth. They required a rebuild of their systems as well as processes and reporting to be implemented to enable data driven decisions to be made. Steve worked closely with the founders and management to develop and implement these quickly and effectively. The business benefited significantly because of this work. Steve has the ability to understand the needs of the business, its management and is able to develop and implement improvements that are understood, sustainable and appropriate for the business at its stage of development.

Steve Jacobson worked with Adore Beauty as CFO from 2017 through to late 2019. He came with a wealth of practical experience and used that to provide wise counsel and improve what was at that time an immature finance function. While able to provide high level guidance, he is also hands on and helped to install systems and processes that continue to this day. During his time at Adore, he drove a focus on managing and improving cash flow which improved our position considerably. He also worked tirelessly to guide us through a process of due diligence which led to a partial sale to Private Equity in 2019. Throughout what was a dynamic period, he was able to provide solid advice and a safe pair of financial hands. I found him to be dedicated, flexible, hardworking, and always to have the company’s best interests at heart.

Steve came onboard with our company after recent years of significant growth to help us get our financial control and reporting in better shape to help us continue to grow our business with more confidence. After only 4 months in a part time capacity, he’s managed to achieve a financial clean-up of past years, a complete financial system migration and has driven our budgeting and forecasting activities (in addition to the day to day running of financial management). He has a practical and focused working style, and isn’t afraid to get hands-on to get things done. On a personal level he’s been an absolute pleasure to work with, and has very quickly become part of the team.
