Peter Geise, FocusCFO

FocusCFO was founded in 2001 and is the leading onsite fractional CFO service provider in the Midwest and Southeast. FocusCFO works closely with small to medium-sized businesses helping business owners gain control over three key financial and operational areas: increasing cash flow, reducing business risk, and creating a platform for scalable growth. This allows business owners to then realize full financial control and increased value in their businesses.

To co-mingle my business network with the business community of The Presidents’ Council.

What challenges do you face as an African American business professional?

Finding businesses who are interested in accepting help from us.

Goal 1. Make sure The Presidents’ Council small and medium sized business owner members know that we’re a resource for them.
