Preferred CFO Powers Up Current’s Advisory Growth

SALEM, Utah, September 01, 2026--Current, a national partnership of premier accounting and advisory firms, today announced that Preferred CFO has joined the platform. Based in the greater Salt Lake City metro area, Preferred CFO provides fractional CFO, controller, strategic finance and capital-raising support. The addition further advances Current's strategy to build one of the country's leading advisory organizations.

For more than a decade, Preferred CFO has helped organizations build the financial visibility, forecasting discipline and strategic insight needed to strengthen cash flow, allocate capital, make more informed decisions, and grow with greater confidence.

The addition of Preferred CFO represents another milestone in Current's national expansion strategy. With an established presence across the West Coast, Midwest, Northeast and Southeast, Current now extends its reach into the Mountain West while adding a proven advisory business that reflects the company's long-term strategy to diversify beyond traditional accounting services. As demand continues to shift toward higher-value strategic advisory, Current is intentionally expanding its network with firms that help clients navigate growth, transformation and increasingly complex business decisions.

"From the beginning, our vision has been bigger than building a traditional accounting platform," said Steve Stagner, CEO of Current. "We're building the premier growth platform for firms that help clients make smarter decisions and create lasting value. Advisory services represent one of the fastest-growing opportunities in our profession, and Preferred CFO is exactly the kind of firm we're looking to partner with. They've built an exceptional business around strategic financial leadership, helping clients solve complex business challenges and accelerate growth. Their addition advances our strategy to expand advisory services across the Current network while creating new opportunities for collaboration, innovation and long-term value for our clients."

Preferred CFO has built its reputation by delivering executive-level financial expertise to companies that need sophisticated financial leadership but may not yet need or be ready to build a full-time internal CFO function. Its team partners with business owners and leadership teams on financial strategy, forecasting, financial modeling, cash flow management, capital planning, capital raising and operational decision-making. This gives clients the insight and broader finance capabilities they need to confidently navigate each stage of growth.
