January 2024 Summit VCFO by Anders Employee Spotlight: Chelsea Carlson

As a hybrid firm, not only do we serve our clients remotely, but our team members are often distributed as well. We understand the accounting, bookkeeping, cash flow management, and tax nuances of running a distributed company. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide the highest quality Virtual CFO services while being hybrid, and we couldn't do any of it without our amazing team.

Every month we spotlight one of our employees so you can get to know us better. This month we bring you Chelsea Carlson. Chelsea has been with Summit for 2.5 years. She is a Virtual CFO Senior Advisor here at Summit.
