Thomas Skidmore

Strategic executive with 20+ years of experience driving organizational growth, operational efficiency, and cross-functional alignment across diverse industries including construction, real estate, healthcare, technology, and professional services. Known for restructuring organizations, implementing enterprise-wide systems, and partnering with CEOs, boards, and investors to scale businesses and deliver measurable results. With over 20 years of progressive experience across construction, real estate, healthcare, technology, and professional services, I have consistently delivered measurable results by aligning financial strategy with business goals, driving operational efficiency, and building scalable infrastructures that support growth. Throughout my career, I have led complex transformations, from restructuring accounting departments to implementing enterprisewide financial systems. As Controller at Affordable Housing Affiliates, I established GAAP-compliant reporting, variance analysis, and controls that ensured compliance with lender requirements. At NuTech National, I spearheaded billing and operational process improvements that increased revenue by 25% year-over-year. Earlier, as Director of Accounting at NASCAR, I centralized commercial property accounting in-house, implemented Yardi, and managed pandemic-related negotiations with major national tenants. My leadership is defined by both strategic vision and handson execution. I have managed teams of up to 40 professionals, developed multi-year financial strategies, and recovered millions in disputed costs for institutions such as Fannie Mae, HUD, and Orange County Public Schools. Beyond financial reporting and compliance, I excel in fostering collaboration with CEOs, boards, private equity partners, and external auditors to build trust and create actionable insights that advance organizational objectives.
