About FocusCFO
Join Our Team of Sherpas
The secret to success in business (and in life) is surrounding yourself with good people. At FocusCFO, we have built a large and growing network of seasoned financial and business professionals across the country committed to guiding owners and entrepreneurs on their path to success. Due to strong growth, we are actively seeking additional team members – CFOs and Area Presidents – across the country, both in existing markets and expanding into new regions.
What is a Sherpa Team?
CFOs and Area Presidents work closely with one another, as a ‘Sherpa Team’, guiding clients on the path to success. Area Presidents work as business development leaders, with a passion for networking and building community. They also serve as strategic relationship managers who match the right CFO with each client. CFOs are the primary service delivery and relationship professional, ‘on-the-ground’ with clients each week, embedded into their leadership teams, guiding them on the climb to value.

At FocusCFO, we give seasoned financial executives, business owners, and business leaders who are seeking their next chapter the opportunity to make a profound impact on small & mid-sized businesses climbing the mountain of success. They need strategies, guidance and support – that’s why they need you.
Our 130+ team members all share these attributes:
- Love what we do – are passionate about helping entrepreneurs and can relate to them.
- Firmly believe in and embody our core values.
- Have a local network and a story to tell – credibility within their local market.
