About Cary Prejean, CPA
Baton Rouge Fractional CFO and Business Advisor
Cary Prejean has spent more than 40 years helping owners understand their numbers, build the processes behind the business and plan the future on purpose.
Our Story
Cary graduated with an accounting degree and earned his CPA in 1982. In 1992 he became a certified ontological coach. He started his consulting business because of what he kept seeing in the field: business owners had very little actionable financial data to make good decisions with.
As he worked with more owners, a second pattern showed up. The organizations behind those businesses had no real system of processes to run and manage the work, so everything depended on the owner being involved in everything.
A third pattern was the belief that more sales solve all problems. In the short term, more sales do not always mean more profit. It is more profit that solves problems. And most owners were reacting to current conditions rather than planning the future of the business on purpose.
That is the work: help owners double profits in a year or less, manage the business by the numbers with actionable data, run it through a system of processes that frees the owner to scale, and design the business into the future through strategic planning as a regular practice.

I was looking for a fractional CFO. What I got was much more than that. I got a person who lets me vent and listen and then correct my thoughts in a very clear manner. Through our conversations, they always progressed and made us move with courage as we began to trust him more and more.
