How It All Started

Summit CFO
Meet Heather: your trusted partner in financial excellence
The beginning of Heather’s journey may be attributed to her childhood on a small farm in rural Tennessee, where she was taught the importance of perseverance and teamwork. Her extraordinary journey, which began with her modest upbringing and continued through her time in the US Air Force and her final discovery of her calling in the banking and business industries, was facilitated by this foundation.
In the US Air Force, Heather served in leadership positions across continents, leading various teams all around the world to cultivate a global perspective that would serve her well in her future pursuits.
With a relentless focus on excellence, Heather developed her skills in controllership, senior management, and accounting. She completed her business administration bachelor’s and master’s degrees as well as her master’s in accounting as a trailblazing first-generation student.
Following a career path that took her to important roles in both prestigious Big 4 accounting firms and Fortune 100 businesses, Heather gained a lot of experience that she currently uses as a compass.
Heather is unique in that she is steadfastly committed to your success. As a visionary real estate entrepreneur and skilled accountant, Heather derives personal joy from enabling others, both in her professional and familial relationships. She is a capable and loyal business partner who is determined to see your projects succeed under her direction.
With Heather by your side, set out on a path of leadership, knowledge, and unmatched dedication to achievement. Allow Heather to be your reliable mentor on this life-changing adventure—your goals are worth it.

Summit CFO‘s mission was to empower and inspire fellow entrepreneurs to achieve success. Our founder, who has a background in investment real estate, met many visionaries with innovative ideas and a steadfast determination to create thriving businesses. A recurring theme was the lack of financial expertise that prevented these promising ventures reaching their full potential.
Summit CFO was born out of a passion to bridge this critical gap. A strong financial foundation was crucial to propelling businesses forward. Our seasoned financial professionals with their years of experience work closely with entrepreneurs in order to navigate the complex landscape of financial management.
