About AZ Easy CFO
Chris Badulescu, CPA and fractional CFO
A small Chandler firm on purpose. When you call, you reach the CPA who knows your numbers and your goals.
Why did Chris start AZ Easy CFO?
Chris Badulescu founded AZ Easy CPA in Chandler in 2018 to give small business owners dependable bookkeeping and a CPA who answers questions. As clients grew, many needed more: forecasting, budgets and help with big decisions. AZ Easy CFO was built for that next stage.
Growing owners kept asking the same questions. Can we afford this hire? Why is cash tight when we are profitable? What will the bank want to see? Chris was already answering them for bookkeeping clients, so he built a dedicated CFO practice around it.
The name carries the same promise as the bookkeeping firm: finance that is straightforward for the owner, backed by careful, detailed work. Chris shapes every engagement around the business in front of him rather than a template.

In clients' words
I have worked with Chris Badulescu for the last year and would highly recommend him not only for bookkeeping/accounting services, but as a fractional CFO.
He's very communicative, kind and personable. I like that he really cares for his clients and wants to make sure that they're taken care of.
Chris is a master of his craft! Crazy cool to see him whip through Quickbooks. He's a huge help in keeping our books clean for our business.
