SHK Financial is a fractional finance practice founded in September 2018 by 📝Sam Kaplan, providing 📝Fractional CFO, Controller, and accounting services to early-stage and growing businesses. The firm specializes in e-commerce, logistics, and software companies that need senior financial leadership without the cost of a full-time hire.
SHK's engagement model pairs hands-on monthly accounting and financial-controller work with strategic CFO oversight — cash-flow forecasting, fundraising support, KPI dashboarding, board reporting, and operating finance — at a price point accessible to startups in the $1M–$30M revenue range. SHK Financial was acquired by 📝Brightzen, the financial-consulting firm founded by 📝John Zdanowski, folding SHK's principal-led practice into BrightZen's broader debt-financing, venture-capital, and acquisitions infrastructure.
Sam is a good friend and a founding 📝Citizen of One. SHK Financial and Brightzen — and now Sam and John as 📝Advisors of One Inc — have provided our financial services since 2020. We would not be able to do what we can without their insight and support.
