Jamie Seratt, CPA - Fractional CFO & Finance Leadership

I’m Jamie and I'm here to provide precision financial leadership where and when it’s needed most. With over a decade of experience in accounting, FP&A, and controllership roles across manufacturing, ethanol production, agriculture, retail, and other capital-intensive or operationally complex sectors, I help organizations strengthen their financial foundation, improve decision-making, and scale with confidence.

I believe finance works best as an integrated part of the business — not just a back-office function. My approach emphasizes collaboration across operations, commercial, and administrative teams to create solutions that are practical, data-driven, and aligned with organizational goals. I use an iterative, feedback-based approach that mirrors agile project management — building, testing, and refining processes, financial models, and strategies in real time. As a result, I am able to deliver early, visible, and measurable wins.
