Hardesty Announces Theodore (TL) Lavoie as Chief Financial Officer

Hardesty, LLC is excited to announce that Theodore (TL) Lavoie has officially accepted the role of Chief Financial Officer.

Ted has already made a significant impact on our organization and has quickly become an important part of Hardesty’s continued growth and operational evolution.

Driving Operational Efficiency and Automation

Over the past several months, Ted has played a key role in helping drive automation and process improvement initiatives across the organization.

His leadership has helped Hardesty:
• Close financials faster
• Improve reporting accuracy
• Streamline internal processes
• Build stronger operational infrastructure
• Create a scalable foundation for future growth

As businesses continue to evolve, strong financial leadership is no longer limited to traditional accounting and reporting responsibilities. Today’s CFO plays a critical role in operational strategy, systems improvement, data visibility, and long-term business planning.

Ted has already demonstrated the type of forward-thinking leadership that helps organizations become more efficient, scalable, and strategically aligned.

More Than a Finance Leader

While operational improvements and financial discipline are critical, one of the things that has stood out most about Ted’s leadership has been his ability to become a trusted partner to the broader team.

The best finance leaders do more than manage numbers. They:

• Improve communication across departments
• Help leadership teams make better decisions
• Create accountability and visibility
• Build processes that support long-term success
• Serve as strategic partners to the business

Ted has quickly established himself as that kind of leader within Hardesty.

Building for the Future
As Hardesty continues to grow and expand across executive search, interim leadership, and fractional executive solutions, building the right internal leadership team remains a top priority.

Ted’s experience, operational mindset, and collaborative leadership style position him well to help support the company’s next phase of growth.

We are excited about what lies ahead and grateful to have Ted helping lead the future of Hardesty.

Congratulations, Ted!

Please join us in congratulating Theodore (TL) Lavoie on this well-deserved role as CFO of Hardesty.

We look forward to the continued impact he will have on our team, our operations, and our long-term success.
