Barbara Jean (BJ) Militello
CFO
It is rare to find a financial executive who acts as a true partner, who understands how to consult and advise with a focus on growth. Rarer still are the individuals who have an uncanny acumen for being able to build relationships, trust and rapport with CEO’s, solopreneurs and executives of small and multimillion dollar companies alike.
Barbara Jean (BJ) Militello, Chief Financial Officer, MBA, EA is one of those rare business professionals. With more than 20 years of financial experience in the private sector and representing international companies, BJ has an eye for numbers and head for business. Using her extensive knowledge of U.S. accounting and accounting standards, tax law, payroll and business regulations, BJ delivers leadership and operational value to her clients.
From her earliest memories, BJ was naturally drawn to math and numbers. “Growing up, my father and grandfather owned and operated state and county food concessions. At a very early age my father taught me how to reconcile the receipts at the end of each day and that became my job within our family business. You could say I come by my passion for the food industry, business and accounting, naturally.”
As committed and dedicated to her clients as she is, BJ is equally enthusiastic of the water. A scuba diver since childhood and dive instructor, BJ has traveled the world diving. Her love of the water goes beyond sea life, as a recognized officiant, BJ performs underwater wedding ceremonies. You can find pictures on her Divergirl…come dive with me Facebook page.
