Kent Thomas, AdvancedCFO
\u201cSTRATEGY ON A SPREADSHEET\u201d
Lately, it seems like the Wasatch Front is home to more startups per capita than any other mid-size market in the United States. Just a few weeks ago in downtown Salt Lake City, the Silicon Slopes Summit drew over 5,000 techies together to connect and learn and celebrate what we are building. It is against this backdrop that we had the pleasure of interviewing Kent Thomas, the founder of Advanced CFO Solutions. Kent launched Advanced CFO Solutions 20 years ago and is highly respected by many the leading founders of Utah\u2019s most impressive high-growth companies.
Always quick to recognize his awesome clients and his friendship with CEOs like Paul Allen (Ancestry.com) and Jeremy Andrus (Skullcandy & Traeger), Kent Thomas is a recognized thought leader who has had a huge impact as a trusted advisor to many of the best executives in our growing ecosystem. More than anything, Kent has been successful in \u201cputting strategy on a spreadsheet\u201d and helping the founders of Utah\u2019s most dynamic companies make the right strategic moves. Kent is humble, but he\u2019s got game!
Kent seems far too young to \u201cretire\u201d, but he recently did just that, selling Advanced CFO Solutions to his able partners so he can now focus on his family and various \u201cprojects\u201d that will undoubtedly become more great companies on Utah\u2019s Silicon Slopes. Please enjoy the insights of this great man!
