Daniel Busch Joins Class Valuation As CFO
Class Valuation has appointed Daniel Busch as its new chief financial officer, bringing extensive private-equity, operational transformation, and data-driven financial leadership experience to support the firm’s next phase of growth
Real estate appraisal management company (AMC) firm Class Valuation has announced that Daniel A. Busch has joined the company as its chief financial officer (CFO). Busch brings more than two decades of financial leadership experience to the role, including extensive work in private equity environments, business transformation and data-driven operational performance.
Busch most recently served as CFO of Continental Services, a private equity-backed provider of food service management solutions, operating across five states. During his tenure, the company grew nearly fivefold through organic expansion and 18 acquisitions.
At Continental, he led a team of 100 across finance, IT, procurement, fleet, pricing, merchandising, scheduling, and loss prevention, and integrated five companies into a single enterprise-wide finance and reporting platform. He also built dedicated financial planning and analysis (FP&A), tax, treasury, and M&A finance functions, and established a data analytics team that created workflow automations, performance dashboards, and machine learning tools, which improved same-store sales and reduced labor costs and stockouts.
“Dan brings a rare combination of disciplined financial management, operational insight and hands-on leadership that aligns perfectly with where Class Valuation is headed,” said Class Valuation CEO John Fraas. “His experience integrating teams, elevating performance, and using data to drive better decisions will strengthen our foundation and support our growth in the years ahead.”
Busch also served as CFO of PREZIO Health, CFO and treasurer of Renosol Corporation, and CFO and treasurer of Tru-Val Tubing Co., where he played key roles in financial turnarounds, operational restructuring, and strategic growth. He also held senior roles at The Advisory Board Company, where he advised hospital and physician network executives and helped launch new programs in response to emerging industry needs.
