About Dale kurschner

Dale Kurschner, Principal

Dale serves as an Executive Advisor and Strategic CFO supporting organizations facing significant financial decisions, transactions and operational challenges. He specializes in mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, liquidity issues and business turnarounds, providing senior‑level financial leadership without the cost or commitment of a full‑time executive.

Representative results include selling distressed assets appraised at $50K for $2.4M (Turnaround of the Year), facilitating the largest commercial real estate transaction in recent Lake Minnetonka history, restoring reputations of CEOs and companies under public and legal attack and securing city approval for a multi‑tenant development project previously headed for denial.

Clients engage Dale when they need a steady, analytical partner to evaluate options, communicate with lenders or investors, prepare for a sale, assess an acquisition or address sensitive issues affecting credibility or enterprise value. When appropriate, he brings in a trusted network of specialists in accounting, legal, HR, IT and marketing to ensure clients receive targeted expertise.

His background spans early‑stage companies to Fortune 20 environments and includes more than 20 years as an award‑winning financial journalist and communications leader. This combination enables him to quickly assess performance drivers, uncover issues others overlook and translate complex information into clear, practical strategies. Experience as an entrepreneur, corporate executive, elected official, and editor‑in‑chief further shapes his ability to bring structure and momentum to difficult situations.
