Etienne Hardre has a passion for helping entrepreneurs achieve their goals. Holding degrees in Accounting, Computer Science, and Management Information Systems, Etienne understands the language of business and the mechanisms for implementing ideas. He has worked in a variety of industries and positions including Chief Financial Officer and Founder of dozens of startups with a special focus on financial modeling, mergers & acquisitions, and strategic planning. His favorite phase of business is the high growth stage immediately after an idea is formulated and thrown onto the whiteboard.  For the past fifteen years, Etienne has simultaneously served as outsourced CFO for a variety of small business clients while also owning and managing a large barbershop & hair salon in Colorado Springs.

Etienne and his wife, Megan, raise their four boys in Colorado while enjoying cigars, whiskey, and tequila in the mountain sunshine. He speaks just enough of a handful of languages to confuse the locals, and he will probably beat you at a game of darts if you’re brave enough to try.
