What Leaders Say about Scott Henderson

“Scott was a key partner during our years scaling Salesforce—strategic, execution-focused, and deeply grounded in both revenue operations and financial leadership. What set him apart was his ability to lead across FP&A, Controllership, Rev Ops, and International—bringing a rare, enterprise-wide perspective. Founders and CROs alike benefit from his clarity, discipline, and impact.”

Mark Hawkins
Board Member, Venture Partner, Operating Partner, Former Salesforce President & CFO Emeritus

“I’ve worked with Scott across multiple companies and roles over the last decade plus, and he’s the kind of CFO every founder and CXO wants in their corner. He brings financial rigor, GTM insight, and a calm strategic presence that helps companies grow with focus and confidence. With HelixCFO, he’s built a model that delivers exactly that—when it matters most.”

Bernie Kassar

“Scott is the rare CFO who brings enterprise rigor and startup agility. He doesn’t just manage the numbers—he helps shape the business. As a CRO, I saw firsthand how he turned finance into a strategic partner—tying forecasts, comp plans, and GTM strategy into a plan we could execute. Every CRO should be so lucky to have such a true finance partner in scaling and growing the business.”
