Our Leadership

The people behind your numbers

Blue Sage CFO is led by Dan Larkin, CPA, Tim Larkin and Hannah Tanler, and supported by a team of bookkeepers, analysts and tax specialists, so every client gets senior-level guidance backed by reliable day-to-day execution.

We share a common belief that financial leadership should augment and support operations and sales, bringing the data and understanding to strengthen all team strategies, rather than dictating a particular course. We look at your business through the eyes of an owner with the solid understanding of financial tools to help form solutions to the everyday challenges of business.

Dan Larkin, CPA
Dan Larkin, CPA
Managing Partner

Dan is a licensed CPA in the State of Oregon with many years of experience in both public and private accounting, including serving as a CFO. After years as an outside tax and project advisor, he found he much preferred being in the middle of a company’s strategy and day-to-day decisions, so he founded Blue Sage CFO in 2019. Today he leads the firm and works directly with business owners to build plans, strengthen cash flow and make better decisions with real numbers behind them. He has helped guide the growth of companies across manufacturing, agriculture, retail, software, construction, medical, professional services and nonprofits.
