Our Story

TradeCraft CFO was founded on a key observation from decades of working in corporate finance: most business owners are experts at what they do, but are too busy building their company to manage the small financial details. Yet, it's these details that often determine success or failure. They need more than a data entry clerk, they need a genuine financial partner.

We started this firm to bridge that gap. The goal was to take the high-level tools and strategic insights usually reserved for large corporations, like cash flow forecasting, budgeting, and detailed financial analysis, and make them accessible to small and mid-sized businesses. We wanted to help great companies build a solid foundation for the future.

That founding idea drives us today. We are committed to providing the business owners of the Wasatch Front with meticulous, organized books that make tax time simple. Our ultimate goal is to give you the financial clarity and peace of mind you need to thrive.
