A career built on financial clarity
Tom Kielich founded Oak Ridge Advisory LLC after years of serving as a financial executive across multiple organizations — working simultaneously as a fractional CFO, controller, and bookkeeper for companies at different stages of growth. What he found, again and again, was the same gap: businesses that needed senior-level financial leadership but weren't in a position to hire it full-time.
That insight became the foundation of Oak Ridge Advisory. The firm exists to give growing businesses access to the kind of financial expertise that larger companies take for granted — accurate books, reliable reporting, and strategic financial guidance — delivered on a flexible, right-sized basis.
Most growing businesses need CFO-level thinking. They just don't need it forty hours a week. That's the problem Oak Ridge Advisory was built to solve.
Tom's experience spans the full range of financial operations: from untangling years of inconsistent or incomplete records and rebuilding them into clean, audit-ready financials, through ongoing bookkeeping and month-end close, all the way up to executive-level work — budgeting, cash flow forecasting, investor reporting, and board-level financial presentation. He has served clients across a range of industries in the NYC metro area and remotely nationwide.
Based in northern New Jersey and active in the Morris County business community, Tom built Oak Ridge on a simple conviction: the businesses that most need financial expertise are rarely the ones that can afford a full-time hire. Oak Ridge bridges that gap — with the credibility of an in-house executive and the flexibility of a trusted outside partner.
