Making End$ Meet
The son of Mary Ann Freeberg, a Connections founder and contributor to its original bylaws (circa 1987), Microeconomist Kris Freeberg is an economic map maker, navigator, and systems builder who has spent more than three decades helping individuals and business owners plan and achieve their economic goals. He focuses on a simple but often neglected truth: time is the atomic unit of all Economics.
His work follows a four-prong approach: a long term plan, annual budgets that support it, accounting system setup and training to track the budgets, and an ongoing program of reviews and revisions - also known as navigation.
Over time, his practice has expanded into fractional CFO and Controllership services for small and mid-sized businesses, particularly property management and adjacent industries, specializing in Trust Accounting. In this role, Kris helps business owners identify and navigate operational choke points, improve contribution margins, and install durable systems, policies, and procedures that support sustainable growth and turn-key exits.
A key differentiator in Kris’s approach is his use of custom-built systems, particularly on the QuickBase platform. Rather than relying on disconnected “Frankenstacks” of apps, he designs integrated environments where scheduling, time keeping, customer relationships, financial data, and operational workflows are aligned. The goal is not more software, but better decisions and control - made with clarity and supported by reliable data. Most of his systems model and manage the conversion of time into Contribution Margin.
He is also an Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) enthusiast who incorporates its principles into his work with clients who want to move from reactive, day-to-day firefighting and mole-whacking to intentional, long-term execution. He is particularly focused on helping clients balance vision with what he calls “ballast” - the structure and discipline required to turn ideas into lasting traction.
Within the Connections community, Kris brings a direct, analytical, and results-oriented perspective. He is less interested in surface-level networking and more interested in meaningful engagement: understanding what members are trying to build, where they are encountering friction, and how to help them move forward with precision. His philosophy is simple: define the mission, build the system, and execute.
Kris works with individuals, families, and business owners who are ready to take their financial and operational lives seriously. His clients tend to value clarity over complexity, substance over optics, and long-term results over short-term novelties.
Whether he is building an economic roadmap, diagnosing a business bottleneck, or designing a system to support execution, Kris’ aim is consistent: do the math on your life, and make it happen.
