"The passion that we bring to the table is really what sets us apart: passion for the entrepreneur, passion for the small business, passion for giving those individuals the tools they need to run their business successfully."
Brad Martyn | Founder/Visionary
"In seeking my next chapter following the sale of my business, FocusCFO checked many of the boxes I was looking for. I wanted to work with owners across many industries vs. my prior single vertical focus. As a former founder myself, I was quite impressed how clear and established their mission, culture and processes were. And to seal the deal, I truly liked every person I met at FocusCFO."
Michael Stier | Area President, Charlotte Metro
