Mark Livingston

I'm a fractional and interim CFO. I step into small and mid-sized companies when they've lost their CFO, never had one, or need senior finance leadership through a turnaround, a growth phase, or a strategic project like IPO readiness, M&A, or an ERP implementation.
I'm an operating partner at CXO Partners and co-lead the firm's Industrials and Energy practice. My background is forty years in finance and accounting, including Chief Accounting Officer roles at two public companies before moving into fractional work. CPA. Houston-based. Operations-focused — the type who walks the shop floor to understand the business before interpreting it financially.
If you're exploring a CFO engagement, want to talk through a referral, or just want to compare notes on PE, M&A, or the industrials space, grab a time that works.
