Curt Roese

Founder & Chief Retirepreneur

I'm a CPA and former CFO building Retirepreneur in real time — alongside my audience, not from the finish line. I earned my M.S. in Entrepreneurship at 63. I know what this transition takes, because I'm still making it.

Everything in this newsletter is filtered through a CFO's lens: conservative, practical, and focused on protecting what you've already built.
