Jennifer Leydon is a Fractional CFO who helps founders and executive teams transform financial complexity into clarity, confidence, and scalable growth. With deep experience across government contracting, SaaS, distribution, and Cybersecurity, Jennifer bridges strategy and execution to create businesses that not only perform, but endure.
Her approach is rooted in a simple philosophy: numbers tell a story. When leaders understand that story, they can change the ending. Jennifer partners with growth-minded CEOs to design financial systems, KPIs, and funding strategies that drive stronger margins, improved cash flow, and enterprise value expansion.
Over her career, Jennifer has built a reputation for calm, structured leadership in complex environments. She’s guided SaaS startups through multimillion-dollar raises, led Government entities clients through compliance readiness, and rebuilt financial infrastructures that helped distributors and real estate developers unlock new profitability. She’s known for developing tools such as dashboards, KPI trackers and the like, systems that simplify performance management and help founders make confident, timely decisions.
Jennifer’s strength lies not only in her financial acumen but in her ability to connect people and numbers with purpose. She works hand-in-hand with management teams to clarify what success looks like, how it’s measured, and how to operationalize it. Her clients often describe her as a “translator” between strategy, finance, and execution, someone who can take vision and make it measurable.
When she’s not driving transformation for her clients, Jennifer contributes to her community through municipal finance and building-use committees, helping local governments and organizations make fiscally responsible, forward-thinking decisions about public resources and capital projects.
With an eye on growth and a heart for impact, Jennifer continues to redefine what modern CFO leadership looks like: strategic, operational, and deeply human.
