Our Story
FH Consulting was founded in 2014 with a clear purpose: to bring financial expertise to the early-stage companies that needed it most. After more than a decade of forensic accounting, audit, and corporate advisory, founder Molly Montgomery saw a persistent gap - startups lacked access to strategic financial leadership during critical stages of growth. By applying forensic techniques to uncover operational inefficiencies and growth blockers, FH Consulting helped founders build strong financial foundations and use data to drive better decisions and long-term value.
As the business landscape evolved, so did the demands on founders. Technology rapidly reshaped how companies operate, while financial strategy became more complex. The divide between finance and technology became a barrier to growth, with capital misallocated and operations lacking the systems and structure needed to scale. Founders needed partners who understood both domains - and how every decision impacted the organization as a whole.
FH Consulting stepped into this evolving need. With deep expertise in technology systems, design thinking, and executive operations, Co-Founder Kristian Poe helped bridge the gap between finance and execution. Today, we offer an integrated approach that combines strategic finance, systems architecture, and operational rigor—helping founders and operators navigate growth, risk, and complexity with greater confidence in a rapidly changing environment.
Founding Team
Molly Montgomery
Founder & Fractional CFO
Molly Montgomery is a strategic finance leader whose career spans over two decades of work in finance, strategy, and executive leadership. As the founder of FH Consulting, she partners with founders and operators to navigate key moments of growth—helping raise capital, managing cash flow, building financial infrastructure, and guiding strategic decisions for long-term success.
Her background includes audit roles at EY and financial forensics at Grant Thornton, where she led complex fraud investigations, compliance reviews, economic damage calculations, and post-acquisition dispute matters. Her experience dissecting how businesses succeed or fail sharpened her ability to rapidly analyze risk, spot operational inefficiencies, and translate financial insights into action. She also served six years on the Board of Directors for the Arizona Society of CPAs, including terms as Treasurer and Chair of the Board—becoming one of the youngest board chairs of any state CPA society at the time.
In addition to her advisory work, Molly has been on the founding team of several startups and held executive operating roles. Most notably, she helped scale a bootstrapped multi-million-dollar omni-channel retail brand, overseeing finance, operations, and strategic execution during its most pivotal years of growth. She is also the creator of Founder’s Haven, a neuroscience-based training organization for mission-driven founders.
