Geoff Schmidt

CFO

Geoff Schmidt is a fractional CFO consultant at Amplēo who loves helping companies working through challenging times. His greatest joys come from partnering with a troubled organization and collaborating with the stakeholders to develop and implement strategies to thrive. He loves to leverage the breadth of his experience across a wide spectrum of industries to apply them to the next opportunity to help a client, and in so doing, learn still more strategies to apply.

Before joining Amplēo in 2025, Geoff spent a decade in the commercial real estate industry, helping businesses make well-informed decisions about their portfolios that were financially sound and optimized service delivery. This gave him exposure to diverse industries, including airplane manufacturing, biotech, healthcare, banking, and technology. He has subsequently spent nearly a decade in healthcare. After a few years in specialty retail, he spent a couple of years in nonprofit work. But no matter where he has worked, he has always focused on finding the biggest challenges facing his companies and working on strategies to navigate those obstacles.

An active Rotarian, Geoff is highly involved in community service projects, both near his home and internationally.

Ryan founded Peak Business Valuation, a national firm that delivers 1,100+ business valuations and 150+ equipment appraisals a year. He works with business owners who are buying, selling, or growing — and need to know what they actually have. His focus is quality, accuracy, and making sure the number means something.

Jason Parr

He joined Peisner Johnson in 1996 and built his career there learning every service line, working through every kind of situation, and eventually becoming President and CEO. The Sales Tax People has completed 35,000+ projects for companies ranging from regional mid-market businesses to large multinationals. His clients are CFOs, controllers, and the accountants who serve them, usually calling when the exposure has already been building quietly for months. He'd rather you call before that point.
