Show Up and Care
We care deeply about the people and actions that are central to our purpose and all that align with our values; our team, partners, clients, mission, commitment to growth, the doers, the innovators, and the aspiring entrepreneurs. Every day we show up with intention and insert care into every crack and crevice.
Authentically Human
The unique makeup of AVL is a direct result of the authenticity of every individual on our team. Our perspectives may be different, and our backgrounds may vary, but being human is where we align. We believe people do their best when they are empowered to bring their authentic selves to work.
Be Passionately Curious
We believe curiosity breeds intellect. For us, the unknown ignites curiosity and pushes us beyond traditional practice, comfort zones, and our daily assumptions. We are passionately curious about our approach, our clients, and one another. We seek to understand, practice non-judgment, and celebrate curiosity in its many forms.
In the Arena Together
The credit belongs to those who are in the arena. Every day together. A team of “we” because we know big impact comes from a collective effort. Every person plays a pivotal role, and as a team, we make waves. Growth is a team sport, and we are all willing to jump into the arena together in the name of big wins.
Create Wow Moments
Every action has a reaction, and we believe in the influence that comes with every wow moment created. Every day we push for the wow moments knowing the outcome generates positive ripple effects that flow and transcend into the lives of our team and clients.
Our Team
AVL founder, Chris Schwalbach, pioneered and architected the successful model for fractional CFOs. In 2009, Chris helped a few early-stage companies with their business plans, capital raises, and financial models and noticed no company offered a fractional finance and accounting team as a professional service on demand. AVL Growth Partners was born to help entrepreneurs pivot from grow to scale with a suite of finance and operational services. Fast forward a few years, and AVL has expanded its offering to support organizations with human resource services. Meet our team.
