Tom Prusinski is a strategic finance executive and fractional CFO with more than two decades of experience guiding organizations from startup through enterprise scale. Holding an M.S. in Applied Probability & Statistics and dual undergraduate degrees in Business and Mathematics from Northern Illinois University, Tom brings an analytically rigorous approach to financial planning, operational transformation, and capital markets strategy.
Over his career, Tom has led or advised on more than $1.4B in closed M&A transactions across industries including manufacturing, energy, cannabis, aviation, agriculture, and transportation. He has served as CFO at GELF Energy, a renewable natural gas and green hydrogen company; TGS Global, where he led a $140M exit at 10.7x EBITDA; and Nissan Forklift North America (UniCarriers Americas), a multi-hundred-million-dollar global manufacturing business.

He specializes in FP&A, cash flow forecasting, ERP and financial system implementation, investor reporting, and board-level financial communication. He is equally comfortable building a company's first budgeting process from scratch or navigating complex restructurings and capital raises.
