What Vistage Chairs & BPCs are Saying...

“Great presentation. Very well done. One of the best presentations I have seen in quite a while.”

– Vistage SB Group Chair

What Vistage Chairs & BPCs are Saying...

“This is spectacular content. So nicely broken down for the non-financial CEO.”

– Vistage CE Group Chair

What Vistage Chairs & BPCs are Saying...

“You guys did a good job of highlighting the need, in our market segment, our CEO’s have for strategic financial help!  Our CEO’s for the most part, pay attention to what our chairs highlight during one-to-one conversations. Many of our chairs come with a bag of consulting knowledge on the soft side of business. Very important in hiring, building teams, creating the culture, etc.  They haven’t sat in the CEO/CFO strategy role.”
 
– Vistage BPC

What Vistage Chairs & BPCs are Saying...

“Superb session Jerry, thank you so much.  So many members don’t understand they don’t know enough about this critical area.  You make the complex relatively straightforward (I withhold the word “simple here because that may not be possible!).”

About Preferred CFO

Preferred CFO is a national high-level strategic outsourced CFO firm. While we’re experts in historical financials, the most impactful strategy we bring to organizations is implementing a higher level of forecasting and strategy to scale and accelerate growth, optimize resources, overcome obstacles, and maximize shareholder value.

Why we Support Vistage:

  • We have found that a CEO who is a Vistage member, already has an attitude towards improvement and is not satisfied with the status quo. They are the dynamic small and midsize business leaders, who are striving to learn what they did not previously know. They seek the most effective approach to achieve better results, grow their companies faster and maximize their impact as a leader.
  • Every company needs the strategic forward looking financial vision of a CFO, however most small and many midsize businesses cannot afford, and do not need, a full-time CFO. By experience we know that the fractional CFO model, and Preferred CFO’s top-of-class CFO strategic financial deliverables, are most beneficial and valuable to the small and midsized companies that make up the majority of the Vistage groups.
  • We support Vistage in all their efforts to build better leaders and stronger companies.
