As the founder of The CPG CFO, Abby June Richards serves emerging CPG brands with fractional CFO services, helping brands "know their numbers" and build sustainable businesses. Abby loves reading the ingredients for the food she feeds her family and is passionate about expanding access to better-for-you and sustainable food options. She spent nearly seven years in a large public accounting firm before starting her own company, serving various industries in audit, outsourced accounting, and technology implementation. Prior to that, she spent fifteen years doing back-office work and has a deep interest in operational efficiency and technology. The CPG CFO was her move into entrepreneurship and niching down on her favorite industry. Her core values are growth and community, so she enjoys serving with organizations like DFW CPG, giving founders a leg up, especially underserved groups and people new to CPG and business.
