Meet Gene Stokes
I’m Gene Stokes, founder of ACA Financial Strategies. I’m a finance professional with over 20 years of finance leadership experience. of experience in financial management, forecasting, and strategic planning across multiple industries.
I’ve managed multi-million-dollar budgets, built financial models, and supported leadership teams in making better decisions with their numbers across retail, service-based businesses, and professional organizations.
But more importantly, I’ve also built and operated my own business. That perspective changed everything.
Why I Started ACA Financial Strategies
After spending more than two decades helping organizations manage budgets, forecasts, and financial decisions, I realized many founder-led businesses and small business owners needed the same level of financial guidance without the cost of hiring a full-time CFO.
ACA Financial Strategies was created to provide practical Fractional CFO services designed specifically for founder-led businesses seeking better financial clarity and stronger decision-making.
Why ACA Financial Strategies Exists
After years working inside established organizations, I saw a consistent gap. Small businesses and startups needed experienced financial guidance, but a full-time CFO was often too expensive and too complex for their stage.
At the same time, running my own business reinforced what I already knew:
Clarity around the numbers changes everything.
ACA Financial Strategies was built to give business owners access to real financial leadership without the cost or complexity of a full-time executive.
