Financial Controller · The Money & Risk Expert
Lori Prigmore
Turning operational detail into decisions leaders can act on.
More than two decades across finance, payroll, HR administration, technical data and operations — with a steady focus on accurate numbers, clean processes and reporting people can use.
What she brings
Lori’s career has run through roles where accuracy isn’t optional — emergency dispatch, well data for a major energy producer, and multi-state payroll and administration. The common thread is taking detailed, fast-moving information and making it dependable for the people who have to act on it.
Payroll and benefits
Weekly, biweekly and monthly payroll across several states — taxes, deductions, bonuses and 401(k) contributions — including a full payroll and 401(k) provider transition.
Policy and administration
Reviewing and updating company policies and holiday schedules, and running monthly safety meetings across multiple districts.
Billing and purchasing
Sales orders and customer invoicing with amounts and taxes verified; purchasing and invoicing for an outside laboratory relationship.
Reporting and analysis
Excel, Access, Spotfire and PowerPoint for turning day-to-day records into summaries leaders can read quickly.
Technical data management
Fourteen years keeping drilling schedules, well data and map layers accurate in Geographix, ArcMap and LAS tools.
Operations and coordination
Facilities maintenance, company events and clear communication across departments, partners and outside labs.

A live model, not a screenshot
The case studies on this site come with working demos built on fictional data. Change a number and watch margins, variances and employer cost respond — the same questions an owner asks every month.
Selected work
Models that support real decisions
Each case study is adapted from an operational model. Company details are withheld, and every figure you can explore is fictional.
Case study 01
Management P&L and budget visibility
- Problem
- Owners need to see, location by location, whether each month landed where it should — without digging through accounting exports.
- Model
- Accounting detail mapped into one consistent management P&L, with gross and operating profit, margins and a budget that flexes with volume.
- Decision
- Which costs are running over plan, and which locations need attention first.
Case study 02
Hire and raise impact
- Problem
- A raise or a new hire changes more than an hourly rate: overtime, paid leave, payroll burden and benefits all move with it.
- Model
- A scenario planner that compares current and proposed pay, converts both into fully loaded employer cost, and shows the revenue needed to cover the difference.
- Decision
- Whether a proposed hire or raise fits the business — and what it takes to pay for it.
Case study 03
An EOS® operating cadence
- Problem
- A leadership team running on EOS® needs one dependable place for weekly measurables, monthly results, priorities and open issues.
- Model
- Structured weekly and monthly entry sheets that roll up into dashboards, a scorecard and a meeting agenda.
- Decision
- What is on track, what is off track, and which issues the team should solve this week.
