Who We Are

Built From the Inside Out

xL Consulting was founded by Eric Chan, a 15-year hospitality finance executive whose career spans various luxury 5-star resorts across the Las Vegas Strip, and most recently served as Deputy CFO overseeing $150M+ in revenue across Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

We work with operators, ownership groups, and investors who need rigorous financial thinking applied to the real complexity of hospitality — the late nights, the union contracts, the volatile revenue, and the deals that have to get done right.

Our engagements draw on a curated network of finance, operations, and strategy professionals. Whether you need fractional leadership for a quarter or a full financial infrastructure build, we bring the right resources to the table.

What We Do

Finance Expertise Scaled to Your Operation

From fractional CFO engagements to full financial infrastructure builds — we meet operators where they are.

Fractional CFO & Interim Finance Leadership

When you need a senior financial leader without a full-time hire. We step into the role, own the numbers, and build the infrastructure your business needs to scale.

P&L Management & Turnaround

Underperforming venues don't need more dashboards — they need someone who knows where to look. We diagnose the problem and drive the fix, from top-line yield to labor efficiency.

Financial Reporting & Forecasting

Daily operating reports, flash forecasts, event pro/post-formas, and business segmentation models built for operators who need to make fast, confident decisions.

Budget & Zero-Based Planning

Annual planning that starts from zero, not last year's spreadsheet. We lead the process — target-setting, feasibility, and buildout — so your plan is a tool, not a formality.
