I’M TENA (HOAG) ELLEFSON &
THIS IS THE FRIENDLY CFO STORY

For more than two decades I’ve learned the secrets of running most facets of business, courtesy of my employers. I’ve created success for businesses as small as 10 employees — and others with more than 10,000. During this time I interacted with smart people all around the organization, and found many thinking of financial and human resource topics as a foreign language.

I’m here to translate these concepts into straight-forward and understandable actions that you can use to launch, sustain, or transform your business.
