Meet Stacy Lang

Whoever said business isn’t personal didn’t know Stacy.

Stacy Lang

Founder, Fractional CFO

Stacy Lang is not your typical accountant. A Certified Public Accountant and Mastery-Level Certified Profit First Professional with over two decades of experience, Stacy brings a powerful mix of financial expertise, strategic insight, and personality to every client relationship. As the founder of Lang Accounting Services, she helps small business owners transform overwhelm into clarity—and spreadsheets into confidence.

Whether she’s acting as your fractional CFO or your go-to financial sounding board, Stacy’s mission is simple: empower business owners to understand their numbers, take control of their cash flow, and build the kind of life and business that leave a legacy—for their family, their future, and their community.

Her entrepreneurial spirit runs deep—passed down through generations of business owners, from her grandfather’s cattle ranch and her father’s sales firm to her mom’s crafty side hustle. Stacy herself is an accomplished crafter, and when she’s not helping clients make smart financial decisions, you’ll find her deep in a creative project or hanging out with her favorite people: her husband, and teenage son Henry.

With a knack for breaking down complex financial concepts in a way that’s approachable (and sometimes even fun), Stacy is known for her authenticity, transparency, and just the right dose of goofiness. She believes that you can be professional and playful, analytical and adventurous—and she brings all of that to the table.

Where Numbers Matter and People Do, Too!

At Aligned CFO, we do more than help businesses grow…we help people, too! If you’re seeking a career that combines purpose, professionalism, and a culture of care, you may be the ideal fit for our team.

We believe the best work happens when people are supported, respected, and given the tools to thrive. As a CPA-owned, woman-owned firm in Phoenix, Arizona, we offer remote opportunities for individuals passionate about educating and helping small businesses succeed.

Our clients trust us to guide them through some of their biggest financial decisions, and we trust our team to lead with clarity, kindness, and confidence. If you’re ready to do meaningful work with a close-knit, values-aligned team, Stacy Lang may be the right CFO for you!

I have been using Lang accounting for many years. Stacy is very professional and knowledgeable. Her office is friendly and provides a lot of flexibility. If you are looking for a rational, caring individual who looks out for the best interest of her clients, look no further. And she is a local, female, small business owner!
