Mac Mccabe

Mac McCabe works exclusively with small businesses and non-profits whose missions prioritize sustainability and social responsibility. He specializes in profit-driven, hands-on advising across all operating functions with specific emphasis on financial recording and reporting, and budgeting and measurement versus plan. He has served them since 1989. His experience is that small, socially responsible businesses are so focused on their missions that the critical role of financial management is often a lesser priority. Some of his greatest pleasures is helping entrepreneurs and leaders to learn to get excited about really “knowing their numbers.”

Within his advisory and project work, Mac has sometimes served as the interim CEO for well-known socially responsible businesses, including Northeast Cooperatives (the original regional natural products wholesale grocer), clothing manufacturer Eileen Fisher, and Greyston Bakery in Yonkers, which produces the brownies for Ben and Jerry’s. Mac was also the co-founder, with Gary Hirshberg, of Stonyfield Farm. He was CEO of O’Naturals, the first organic and natural quick-service restaurant chain in the country.

Mac moved to Maine in 1975 to be the Merchandise Manager of L. L. Bean and has held other management positions, including Director of the businesses at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
