Good Harbor Advisory
Working alongside Boards, CEOs, management teams, and investors navigating high-stakes transformation — from building the financial architecture to enable growth, to solving the operational challenges that constrain it.
Core Capabilities
Building the financial and strategic infrastructure to capture growth in emerging sectors — new mobility, energy transition, quantum, and industrial technology. Hunter has served as the senior financial architect on pivotal market entries and technology commercialization cycles.
Designing and standing up finance organizations that can support aggressive growth without becoming a bottleneck. From FP&A build-outs and treasury infrastructure to controls, reporting, and audit readiness — operational finance that enables the business rather than constraining it.
Translating complex business models and market opportunities into compelling narratives for institutional investors, strategic partners, and lenders. Hunter has served as the single point of accountability integrating private placements, debt and equity capital markets, M&A, federal loan programs, and third-party diligence into a single, coherent capital formation process.
Working directly with management teams and boards to define credible go-to-market strategies with measurable KPIs — bridging the gap between strategic ambition and operational execution. Hunter brings the financial rigor and institutional credibility to hold both sides accountable.
Institutional Background
Hunter Patton founded Good Harbor Advisory to offer something genuinely scarce in the advisory market: senior financial counsel grounded in real operating experience. Before founding Good Harbor, Hunter held senior positions at Citibank, Wells Fargo, and Ford Motor Company — executing transactions across M&A, private placements, debt and equity capital markets, and federal financing programs — most recently serving as VP & Treasurer at The Nuclear Company.
Across more than 50 transactions representing $75 billion in aggregate value, Hunter has served as the integration point across every workstream — M&A advisors, capital markets desks, environmental consultants, federal loan program teams, and third-party diligence providers — bringing each to a single outcome.
Who We Serve
Good Harbor operates at its best in two specific situations. If your company fits either profile, a conversation is likely worth your time.
Client Profile One
Technology-driven businesses — often venture-backed or pre-IPO — navigating a pivotal capital event, commercial breakthrough, or strategic repositioning. The founder needs a senior financial partner who can operate at board level and execute in the market simultaneously.
Client Profile Two
Sponsor-owned portfolio companies in automotive, industrial technology, or adjacent sectors where the value creation thesis requires operational finance transformation alongside commercial execution. The firm or board needs a trusted deputy to build the finance function and drive toward exit readiness.
