Preferred CFO

High-level outsourced CFO and forecasting

You have historical reporting. What you do not have is headlights. We give you the confidence of knowing.

What they do

Preferred CFO is a 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.

Preferred CFO helps businesses “turn on the headlights.” While many businesses have systems in place for historical reporting and record keeping, many lack the processes and expertise to turn this financial knowledge into a forward-facing strategy for success. Preferred CFO helps take the guesswork out of business growth and success through financial forecasting, competitive analysis and benchmarking, strategic relationships, and creating a more reliable financial blueprint to support company growth, shareholder value, and success.

Our History:

With 30 years in the financial industry and more than 40,000 billable hours providing expert fractional CFO services, Jerry Vance, founder and managing partner of Preferred CFO, is highly regarded as one of the most experienced outsourced CFOs in the United States. Jerry has personally provided CFO services to more than 300 companies in a wide range of industries and has been instrumental in securing hundreds of millions of dollars of debt and equity financing. He and his team of hand-picked CFO experts have been integral in advising clients in countless successful strategic exits, profitable capital raises and financial optimizations, and sustainable long-term growth.

Our outsourced financial expert team includes CFOs, controllers, and bookkeepers with significant experience in a wide range of industries.
