Lou Tarnowski spent over two decades as a Chief Financial Officer, helping businesses grow and navigate financial challenges. Along the way, he noticed a common issue—small and mid-sized companies lacked access to strategic financial leadership. Determined to change this, Lou left a secure executive role to start Summit CFO Services, Inc.

Summit CFO Services was founded on the belief that financial expertise should be accessible to all businesses, not just large corporations. The firm provides fractional CFO services, offering strategic financial guidance without the cost of a full-time executive. From bringing clarity in financial statements to long-term planning, Summit CFO helps companies build strong financial foundations.

What started as a vision to support a few businesses quickly grew into a firm serving clients across industries. Summit CFO Services empowers companies to achieve financial stability and long-term success. By delivering expert financial insights, the firm ensures that businesses can make informed decisions and scale confidently.

For Lou, founding Summit CFO Services was about more than building a business—it was about making a lasting impact. When businesses succeed, communities thrive, and opportunities expand. Summit CFO Services continues to stand by its clients, helping them navigate challenges and seize opportunities for growth.
