About Us
Our team
As a Fractional CFO, I partner with privately held, growth-minded businesses that have outgrown their current financial infrastructure — and need executive-level clarity without the full-time cost.
My clients are typically founder-led or owner-operated companies navigating a pivotal moment: scaling rapidly, restructuring operations, preparing for a transition, or simply realizing that good instincts alone aren't enough to sustain what they've built. They need a trusted financial partner who can translate complexity into confident decisions.
With more than two decades of experience leading finance and operations across industries ranging from construction and manufacturing to professional services and nonprofit, I bring a steady, principle-driven presence to every engagement. I don't just report the numbers — I help leadership teams understand what the numbers mean and what to do next.
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
Results my clients have achieved:
* 50%+ revenue growth in under 3 years
* 27% reduction in turnover while growing headcount by 90%
* Scalable KPI frameworks and dashboards that drive real accountability
* Compensation strategies aligned to long-term vision
* Stronger leadership teams and healthier operational culture
I work with a select number of clients at a time and I'm deliberate about fit. If you're leading a company with real complexity and you need a financial partner who can sit at the table with you — not just behind the spreadsheet — let's connect.
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 was founded by Shannon Horton with a conviction formed over more than two decades inside high-performing organizations — that businesses run well can do more than generate profit. They can create lasting impact for the people they serve and the communities they're part of.
After years of executive financial leadership across construction, manufacturing, professional services, and nonprofit sectors — most recently as CFO of a multi-million dollar enterprise — Shannon launched Anathallo to bring that same caliber of financial leadership to privately held businesses that need it most. Businesses with real complexity, real vision, and leaders who are ready to build something that endures.
Our work is grounded in integrity, stewardship, and a deep sense of accountability — not just to the bottom line, but to the people behind it. We believe excellence and ethics aren't in tension. They're inseparable.
