Deborah Rodgers


CFO

Upstate South Carolina
About

Prior to FocusCFO, Deborah spent more than 35 years leading finance operations for small and mid-sized companies in manufacturing, construction, and real estate development. She worked closely with owners through major growth, helping one group of companies grow revenue from under $20 million to more than $90 million while putting the banking relationships, credit, and financial systems in place to support it. Her career began as an auditor with Price Waterhouse before she moved into controller and CFO roles, building teams and securing funding that fueled expansion along the way. That blend of technical depth and hands-on, owner-focused experience is what she brings to growing businesses today.

Other Interests

  • What was your favorite vacation? Our recent trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Great to revisit this beautiful country and the Grand Teton National Park. More visits out west planned.
  • What are you passionate about? Physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle. It's not about what is on the outside; it's about what is inside.
  • What is your favorite way to spend free time? I love doing ordinary things...time with family, my dogs and the occasional spontaneous unplanned day trip adventure.

Before FocusCFO

Prior to FocusCFO, Deborah spent more than 35 years as a Controller and CFO for companies in manufacturing, construction, and real estate development. Her work involved leading finance and accounting teams, managing banking and credit relationships, and building the systems and controls that let owners run their businesses with confidence. She has experience helping a group of companies grow revenue from under $20 million to more than $90 million, expanding credit lines and securing funding to support that growth along the way. That experience taught her that good financial leadership is about more than the numbers — it is about giving owners the clarity they need to make confident decisions as their business grows.
