Before joining Notion CFO & Advisors, Neal gained foundational experience at the world’s largest CPA firm, auditing clients in the financial management and manufacturing sectors. While this big-firm background sharpened his technical acumen, Neal’s true passion lies in empowering small business owners with the financial clarity and strategic insight they need to grow with confidence. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, Neal understands the unique pressures small business owners face. His father has owned and operated a small business since 1981, and his mother has served as the company’s bookkeeper for decades. Neal grew up working alongside them, learning not only the importance of good financial management, but also the resilience and sacrifice required to run a successful business. That hands-on experience still drives his commitment today: to bring big-picture financial thinking to small business realities.
As an outsourced CFO, Neal partners closely with business owners to bring clarity to their numbers, optimize cash flow and make proactive decisions rooted in data – not guesswork. He takes pride in being a trusted advisor his clients can rely on not only during tax season, but throughout the entire business lifecycle.
Neal holds both his undergraduate and Master’s degrees from Kansas State University. He is one of four CPAs in his family and a lifelong Wildcats fan. He and his wife are proud K-State football season ticket holders and enjoy giving back to their Manhattan, KS community.
