About Frameworks & Finance

Each Tuesday, Kurtis talks to a business owner who has gone "through the storm" in their business. In short, our goal is to have real conversations with business owners navigating their hardest financial moments. From cash pressure and margin strain to growth decisions and capital tradeoffs, each episode explores what actually happened when the path forward wasn’t obvious. Hosted by Kurtis Hanni, fractional CFO and founder of Bison CFO, the show focuses on real conversations: what options leaders considered, how decisions were made with imperfect information, and the result that followed. These conversations are designed to help business owners see they’re not alone and ultimately, make better financial decisions by learning from others. Show notes and resources at smbfinanceos.com.
