Rob Stephens has spent more than two decades in financial leadership — as CFO for two banks and a health clinic system, and in senior finance roles at billion-dollar institutions — before founding CFO Perspective to help business owners and their advisors make better financial decisions. He also teaches entrepreneurial finance to MBA students at Gonzaga University.
