Do Good CFO founder, David Guendelman, is a seasoned veteran of social entrepreneurship who cares about both social impact and financial success. From prototype to scale to exit, he’s been there. He has over a dozen years of experience as a co-founder, CFO, and consultant to early stage social ventures. In 2004, he co-founded World of Good, a fair trade gift brand that scaled nationally, building distribution with Whole Foods, Hallmark and eBay, and was eventually acquired by eBay in 2010. Since then, David has worked as virtual CFO and strategist with leading social ventures, including Lotus Foods, Straus Family Creamery, Uncommon Cacao and Community Foods Market. He has worked alongside his clients in raising over $50 million of dollars in equity and debt financing. Perhaps it was David’s childhood fascination with Robin Hood, trips to his parent’s homeland of Chile, or the loss of his uncle Lucho to the Pinochet dictatorship, but David has a particular passion for social justice, boundary-breakers and supporting the underdog. David has a BA from Stanford University, an MBA from UC Berkeley, and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute.

Kristen joined BPM in November 2015 as a member of the Business Enterprise Services Team (BEST). Kristen typically helps small to mid-sized companies with their day-to-day back office accounting, as well as audit readiness. She also facilitates and assists with the implementation of technology solutions to help increase efficiency in their daily accounting and month-end process. When Kristen meets with a new client, she makes it a focus to understand their current processes and works with them to figure out effective solutions, as many times the accounting piece is overlooked by management. She works closely with all of her clients to ensure their needs and goals are being met, so they can better present themselves and have more intentional conversations with their board and other financial statement users.
