A few years back, I (Kurtis) went to Yellowstone National Park. It seemed that everywhere you turned, Bison were grazing in the fields.
At first glance, these animals are intimidating. Big, powerful, and horns. But as you watch them, I noticed something else: they spend their days calmly grazing and resting.
Curious, I started reading about them. Turns out, Bison are steady, smart, and strong. But one trait in particiluar stood out: when storms come, while cows turn and run away, the Bison walked into the storm.
By turning into the storm, they actually shorten their time in discomfort.
When I launched Bison CFO, that image stuck with me.
Steady. Strong. Smart.
That's the kind of financial partner I wanted to be.
We won't panic.
We will bring solutions to the table.
And we'll help carry the load alongside the CEO/Owner.
These are the principles Bison CFO was built on.
We're here to be your advocate, turning financial stress and uncertainty into clarity and confidence.
