Who makes a great Area President?

Successful Area Presidents are experienced business leaders and entrepreneurs with a deep connection in their community  and a passion for entrepreneurs.

At FocusCFO, the Area President role is defined by influence. It is designed for seasoned leaders who have "been there, done that" and are now seeking to make a tangible impact on the business community. This is not a traditional executive role; it is an opportunity to take full ownership of your next chapter. We partner with individuals who are ready to leverage their years of experience to empower a portfolio of entrepreneurs, pivoting from building someone else’s vision to establishing their own legacy.

"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
