Who I Am

I’m Peter Krusic, CPA, PMP, MBA, and a Fractional CFO with a proven track record of helping companies stay on spec, on time, and on budget.

For over 25 years, I’ve led financial and operational teams in aerospace, manufacturing, and industrial sectors, bringing order to chaos and ensuring that mission-critical results are delivered without compromise.

But my story isn’t just about spreadsheets and KPIs.

It’s also about people, purpose, and service.

What I Do

As a Fractional CFO and trusted executive advisor, I specialize in:

  • Financial oversight that drives margin and stability
  • Operational leadership when companies need hands-on, system-level guidance
  • Strategic bid and contract management in high-stakes environments
  • ERP and cross-functional integrations that don’t just work... they last

I’ve had the honor of leading major engagements, including the precision manufacturing of the mid-air fueling system connecting the KC-46 refueling tanker and the F-15 fighter jet, earning Boeing’s Gold and Silver supplier ratings. It was a mission with no room for error—and that’s the kind of leadership I bring to every project.

What I Believe In

Leadership isn’t just about hitting targets. It’s about who you become in the process—and how you support those around you. That’s why I proudly give my time to causes that matter deeply to me:

The Ben Carlson Foundation

The Ben Carlson Foundation

As a longtime supporter of the Ben Carlson Foundation, I help advance its mission to honor the legacy of Newport Beach’s fallen lifeguard hero. Ben’s courage, service, and love for the ocean continue to inspire a generation of watermen and women—and I’m proud to stand with the foundation in building awareness and leadership for ocean safety.

Adult Literacy at the OC Public Libraries

I also serve as a mentor for the Adult Literacy Program at the Orange County Public Library system, where I work one-on-one with adults who are expanding their reading and communication skills. It's an incredible experience to witness someone reclaim their voice, their confidence, and their future through education.

What You Can Expect

If we work together, here’s what I promise:

  • A steady hand in moments of complexity or growth
  • Candid, experienced financial and operational counsel
  • Systems thinking rooted in real-world execution
  • Kindness, respect, and a people-first approach to leadership

I’ve led turnarounds. I’ve handled M&A transitions. I’ve stepped into COO and CXO roles when companies needed a gap filled with confidence and care. But I never forget: I’m here to serve your vision.

Let’s Connect

or a business in transition,
