Local Community Involvement

From education and mentorship to community giving - take a look at some of the many ways FocusCFO supports the community and helps to keep business local in Northern Nevada.

Strategic Financial Leadership for Reno, Sparks, and Carson City

The Northern Nevada economy is no longer just about gaming and tourism—it is a rapidly diversifying powerhouse of advanced manufacturing, logistics, and technology. From the industrial hubs of the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center (TRIC) to the growing commercial sectors in Carson City, businesses here are poised for explosive growth.

But with growth comes complexity. As the Reno-Sparks market evolves, small and medium-sized businesses face unique hurdles: navigating labor market tightness, managing cash flow during rapid expansion, and planning for sustainable scalability.

FocusCFO is now in Northern Nevada to help you climb that mountain. We provide embedded fractional CFO services that give you the high-level financial strategy of a C-suite executive at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

We Know the Northern Nevada Economy

The "New Nevada" economy is moving fast. Recent reports from the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN) highlight a surge in companies expanding into the region, bringing capital but also competition.

Your business needs more than just a bookkeeper to keep up; you need a strategic partner who understands the local landscape.

How FocusCFO Helps Your Business

We don’t just deliver reports; we join your team. Our fractional CFOs work on-site and virtually with you, becoming an integral part of your leadership structure. We are here to help you build sustainable, transferable business value.

Our Services Include:

  • Cash Flow Management: Move from "bank balance" accounting to predictive cash flow forecasting.

  • Strategic Business Planning: Align your financial capabilities with your long-term operational goals.

  • Exit Planning & Succession: Preparing your business for a future sale or generational transfer.

  • Financial Modeling for Growth: Secure funding and manage capital for expansion into new markets.

Why Choose a Fractional CFO in Reno-Tahoe?

For many SMBs in Washoe County and beyond, hiring a full-time Chief Financial Officer ($200k+ salary) isn't feasible. A fractional CFO bridges that gap. You get the expertise of a seasoned financial veteran for a few days a month—exactly what you need to gain clarity and control.

Ready to Climb?

Don’t let financial uncertainty hold your business back from its potential in the thriving Nevada economy. Schedule a Complimentary Consultation to discuss your vision and see how a FocusCFO partner can help you reach the summit.
