Justin G. Reaves
Managing Director
Justin G. Reaves is an influential leader and pivotal decision-maker with substantial expertise in navigating organizations toward success, bringing nearly 20 years of experience driving growth by translating complex data into real-world actionable insights for businesses.

He is frequently sought after to collaborate with an array of organizations in various industries, Boards of Directors, and senior management teams to evaluate the current financial position, technology, and processes, develop gap analysis, and advise on future state organizational structure, strategy, and technology solutions—many of which involved Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Justin also takes great care to ensure his collaborative customer-centric approach is thoroughly integrated into solutions.
From the earliest days of his journey as a staff accountant at a Top Six international accounting firm, all the way to Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a large healthcare organization, Justin has always been intrigued and motivated by uncovering the compelling story behind data and how to convert it into actionable intelligence. Transforming data into narratives and strategies has allowed him to empower multidisciplinary teams to formulate data-driven solutions.
