Overview
About
Jesse Lilligren is a CPA who specializes in outsourced CFO and controller services, helping small and lower-middle-market business owners understand their numbers, improve profitability, and make better decisions. He brings over a decade of experience spanning public company audit, multi-entity controllership, and fractional CFO and controller advisory, giving him the range and perspective to address the real challenges growing businesses face.
Jesse has spent his career rebuilding broken reporting, restoring stakeholder confidence, and guiding businesses through periods of rapid growth and transition. He works with businesses at every stage, whether they are scaling quickly, navigating a difficult period, or simply looking for reliable financials and a trusted advisor who can help them understand what is actually going on in their business.
For businesses earlier in their journey, Jesse brings that same experience to the bookkeeping foundation, ensuring the numbers are accurate, meaningful, and structured to serve the business today and support where it is headed.
Based in Salida, Colorado, Jesse is also a private pilot with a deep passion for the aviation industry. Outside of work he can be found skiing, flying, and exploring the Colorado outdoors.
The superior pilot uses superior judgment to avoid situations requiring superior skill.
