Michael Stier Testimonial
"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
