Zachary Gordon, CPA
Founder and Strategic Advisor
With over 15 years of professional experience spanning multiple industries and functions, Zach has built Red Five Services on a foundation of expertise, innovation, and client-first values. As a licensed CPA, he serves as fractional CFO and strategic advisor to a diverse portfolio of companies, from emerging industries like cryptocurrency, cannabis, psychedelics, and AI to established businesses in technology, real estate, and beyond.
Zach's approach goes far beyond traditional accounting. Having worked across corporate accounting, technical accounting, and strategic finance roles, he understands the full spectrum of financial challenges businesses face. Whether you're navigating complex regulatory landscapes, scaling operations, optimizing tax strategies, or preparing for your next funding round, Zach brings the depth of knowledge and strategic thinking typically found only in large corporate finance departments.
What sets Zach apart is his specialized expertise in emerging industries that many traditional accounting firms shy away from. He's been in the trenches with founders and operators, understanding not just the numbers but the unique business models, regulatory challenges, and growth opportunities that define these innovative sectors.
Before founding Red Five Services, Zach held senior finance roles where he developed expertise in revenue recognition, technical accounting interpretations, financial reporting, and strategic planning. This corporate experience, combined with his work as a fractional CFO for high-growth companies, gives him a unique perspective on both the operational and strategic aspects of business finance.
