Cash flow doesn’t create clarity,
clarity creates cash flow.
Etienne helps you get both.
You didn’t build your law firm just to build yourself a cage.
But if we’re honest, that’s what most lawyers have done.
The late nights.
The missed family time.
The vacations that turn into “mobile office weeks.”
Somehow that became normal.
But normal doesn’t mean right.
Somewhere along the line, our profession started glorifying struggle, like the more you sacrifice, the more “serious” you are about your success. That’s nonsense. Your clients don’t pay you for exhaustion. They pay you for clarity, confidence, and results.
Here’s the truth: you can build a law firm that fuels your life instead of draining it.
A business that runs on systems instead of stress.
A team that executes without you needing to hover.
And a model that creates value without burning you out.
You don’t have to choose between serving your clients and living your life.
You just have to stop running your firm like a lawyer and start leading it like a CEO.
This is your invitation to do exactly that.

Etienne Hardre
The Fractional CFO Who Turns Vision Into Numbers That Work
Most law firm owners don’t have a money problem.
They have a visibility problem.
They’re working hard, signing clients, and somehow still wondering where all the profit went.
That’s where Etienne Hardre comes in.
Etienne is a Fractional Chief Financial Officer (CFO&CEO) and serial entrepreneur who helps business owners turn good ideas into financially sound, scalable companies. With degrees in Accounting, Computer Science, and Management Information Systems, he speaks both languages, the logic of numbers and the mechanics of business.
He’s served as CFO for dozens of ventures, advised on mergers and acquisitions, built financial models that actually predict success, and guided founders through that high-growth, high-stakes phase when a business starts to really move.
For more than 15 years, Etienne has balanced helping small business owners, including law firm owners, get financially free while running his own large barbershop and salon in Colorado Springs. He knows exactly what it means to make payroll, manage cash flow, and lead a team when every dollar matters.
Etienne brings the calm, steady discipline of a CFO and a CEO with the creativity and risk tolerance of a founder. He’ll help you understand your numbers, not as spreadsheets, but as a story about your business, your future, and your freedom.
When he’s not helping entrepreneurs build wealth and stability, you’ll find him in the Colorado mountains with his wife, Megan, and their four sons, enjoying a good cigar, sipping whiskey or tequila in the sun, and occasionally talking trash while beating someone at darts.
If you’re ready to stop reacting to your firm’s finances and start mastering them, Etienne is the CEO&CFO you want in your corner.

You're NOT alone.
If you’ve ever felt trapped by your own success, working harder, making more, yet somehow feeling less free, you’re not alone.
Every small firm owner hits that wall. The late nights, the constant pressure, the gnawing thought that maybe this is just how it has to be.
But that story is a lie.
The truth is, other lawyers have stood exactly where you are right now, exhausted, overextended, and quietly wondering if they made a mistake. And then, with the right guidance, the right systems, and the right leadership mindset, they turned it all around.
They built businesses that run on process instead of panic.
They reclaimed their time, rebuilt their confidence, and remembered why they started their firms in the first place.
You can do the same.
You don’t need another guru or marketing gimmick, you need a CEO-level perspective.
That’s where Uli and the How to Manage community come in.
We don’t teach theory. We build freedom.
And we can help you build yours.
