Dave Baylock
Owner
Since catching the reengineering “bug” 30 years ago with the Michael Hammer BPR movement, Dave has shown a passion for leading organizations through dramatic improvements in the Accounting, Finance and Operational disciplines. Whether in the private sector, state government or non-profit entities, Dave has proven results in leadership, revenue and pricing analysis, budgeting, profit enhancement, expense reduction, reporting and analysis, strategic planning, organizational alignment, risk analysis and business process redesign.
His engaging personality and sense of humor (he often hears “you aren’t the typical CFO!”) combined with a unique ability to simplify complex matters allow for non-financial individuals to “get it”. He is persuasive, visionary, and motivates cross-functional teams through innovative results-oriented initiatives.
A self-professed “data junkie”, Dave loves to dive deep into the financial statements, trends, ratios, and other financial and operational metrics. From Dave’s perspective, behind every number is a story and his ability to draw those stories out from the numbers and then effectively share those stories with the CEO, Board members, employees and external stakeholders/investors is what really sets him apart. In his roles as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Dave’s love for numbers and people allowed him to gain a deep, comprehensive understanding of all facets of an organization. With that level of understanding of your business, Dave will help you identify areas of success and improvement opportunities that will increase your margin and fuel your organization’s mission.
Dave lives in Raleigh with Pamela, his wife of 29 years, and has three children ages 18 to 24. His interests include sports, reading and his family and is an active member of Providence Baptist Church in Raleigh.
