About Us
Our team
As a Fractional CFO, I help small to mid-sized businesses unlock growth, maximize profitability, and gain the financial clarity they need to scale — without the full-time cost of an executive hire.
With over 25 years of experience leading finance and operations across legal services, manufacturing, education, and nonprofit sectors, I bring a steady, principle-driven approach to each engagement. I believe well-run businesses don’t just perform better — they create lasting impact for the people they serve and the communities they’re part of.
My work is grounded in integrity, clarity, and stewardship — coming alongside founders and executive teams to bring structure, insight, and momentum to their vision.
What I Bring to the Table:
* Strategic Planning & Execution Support for CEOs
* Financial Statement Accuracy, Budgeting, and Forecasting
* Cash Flow Optimization & Profitability Analysis
* Leadership Team Coaching & Organizational Structure Alignment
* ERP/Systems Implementations & Process Improvements
* Risk Management, Audit Readiness & Compliance Oversight
I’ve helped organizations:
* Achieve 50%+ revenue growth in under 3 years
* Reduce turnover by 27% while increasing headcount by 90%
* Implement scalable KPIs and dashboards to drive accountability
* Align compensation strategies with long-term vision
* Foster strong leadership teams and healthy operational culture

Our history
Helping Your Business Flourish
The name Anathallo comes from an ancient Greek word meaning to cause to grow again, to renew, to flourish. That’s exactly what we’re here to do.
Anathallo Consulting exists to help small and midsize law firms grow strong, healthy financial roots—so they can thrive for the long haul. Founded by Shannon Horton, a seasoned CFO with over 25 years of leadership experience, Anathallo brings expert financial and operational guidance to firms ready to scale with purpose.
After decades spent inside the walls of high-performing organizations—most recently as CFO of a leading personal injury law firm—Shannon launched Anathallo Consulting to offer fractional CFO and advisory services that are both financially rigorous and mission-aligned. With a sharp eye for metrics that matter, a heart for people, and a firm belief that stewardship and strategy can (and should) go hand in hand, Anathallo helps law firm leaders turn vision into execution and financial complexity into clarity.
Whether you're navigating growth, making your first key hires, upgrading your systems, or simply tired of feeling like the numbers don't tell you what you need to know, we’re here to help. We offer customized consulting and reporting frameworks, internal controls support, strategic planning facilitation, and candid, practical financial insight—all rooted in a biblical worldview and a belief that excellence honors both people and purpose.
At Anathallo, we don’t just offer spreadsheets. We build confidence, capability, and calm in the financial side of your business, so you can lead with wisdom and boldness.
Let’s grow something great together.
