Mr. Mark Russell Filaroski
Chief Operating Officer (COO)
Mark Russell Filaroski is the Chief Operating Officer of White Olive CPA and a fractional CFO and COO for business owners and CEOs who demand measurable, repeatable results.
For more than 25 years, Mark has founded, built, and scaled companies from zero to nine figure revenue. He has been recognized multiple times by Inc. 500 as one of America’s Fastest Growing Companies, scaled a bootstrapped company to over 15 million dollars in revenue, and was named to Nashville’s Future 50.
Mark works with founders and leadership teams operating under pressure. He is typically brought in when growth has outpaced systems, cash flow is unpredictable, reporting is fragmented, or leadership lacks trustworthy signals to make high-stakes decisions.
His work sits at the intersection of finance, operations, and technology. Mark builds operating systems that turn strategy into execution through clear KPIs, tightly defined OKRs, and automated workflows. This includes financial infrastructure, cash flow and collections discipline, KPI driven dashboards, and AI enabled systems that eliminate manual effort and expose real performance.
Mark does not manage by instinct or opinion. He installs systems where results are visible, ownership is clear, and progress is measured weekly.
Hire Mark as a fractional executive when you need to:
- Increase revenue through sharper positioning, service design, pricing discipline, or launching new products tied to specific revenue KPIs
- Protect cash flow by enforcing collections, retainers, margin targets, and cash forecasting that leadership can trust
- Simplify decision making by translating complex financial and operational data into a small set of metrics that actually drive outcomes
- Align teams using clear ownership, role-based accountability, and OKRs that tie daily execution to company goals
- Scale without chaos by replacing heroics and fire drills with repeatable processes and automated reporting
Mark is known for stepping into startups and small businesses under 50 million in revenue, stabilizing operations quickly, and installing execution systems that hold up under growth. His work is not theoretical and not slide driven. It is operational, metric based, and focused on outcomes.
