Meet Richard Williams

Our Story
After more than 35 years in finance — and much of it immersed in the fast-paced world of live events — I founded CFGrow to empower business owners with greater confidence in their financial decisions. A second set of eyes or a seasoned sounding board, we offer clarity and assurance that helps leaders move forward with conviction.
My time at Production Resource Group as UK Chief Executive Officer underscores a track record of empowering teams in the entertainment and live events industry. By fostering collaboration and contributing to strategic initiatives, I supported successful acquisitions, budgeting, and production management efforts.
I have a pragmatic approach, and am always committed to delivering impactful results across dynamic business landscapes. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that finance goes beyond spreadsheets — it's about people and helping them grow to achieve their potential.
