Kira Riedel 

Ms. Kira Riedel, founder of CFO Services, has been easing the minds of CEOs and their investors for 15 years.  Kira possesses a rare combination of solid operational skills, investment experience, and personality.

Kira's voracious appetite for learning and her love of a challenge is evident in her career path, which began in law firms at 17 yrs. old, prior to joining an acquisition investment/management team that managed portfolio company investments, such as Yellow Cab of Denver and the Vail/Beaver Creek Jet Center. The same team later formed an SBIC fund where Kira held positions as controller and financial analyst.  Kira went on to gain investment banking experience as senior financial analyst and a buy-side representative for Denver-Based W.G. Nielsen & Company.  Kira performed buy side transaction and analyses for clients in the energy, healthcare, environmental reclamation, telecom, construction and other industry sectors. 

In operational roles, Kira was most recently a CFO for a wind credit company in Boulder, Colorado during an extremely high growth phase where she negotiated and procured the Company’s first debt facility, completed a full financial model and valuations, implemented new systems and accounting policy and obtained certifications.  Kira also spent three years at the largest private road construction company in Denver as Manager of Assets and Equipment, where she handled all negotiations, bidding, audits, financings and asset and notes accounting management, including funding the relocation and buildout of the Company’s headquarters and the project finance of a new manufacturing plant.  

Ms. Riedel is an avid outdoor enthusiast, most recently enjoying technical rockclimbing and backcountry skiing, and an active community member and volunteer teacher with Junior Achievement and Denver School of the Arts.
