Hurley Fox, MSA
Founder & Owner
Hurley has built Fox & Partners to be more than an accounting firm: we’re an outsourced accounting team, from bookkeepers to controllers, CFOs, and executive coaches, who are true partners to your business. Hurley’s remarkable origin story has taught him that perfect books don’t matter if a business is still bleeding cash. The first step to making more money, keeping more money, and scaling faster is having clean financials, actionable data, and a CFO-level strategy behind every decision.
Over the last seven years, Hurley has grown Fox & Partners into a 14-person team, including multiple CFOs, controllers, accountants, and a CEO, delivering scalable financial leadership to companies across a wide range of industries: real estate, construction, logistics, healthcare, IT, professional services, and an eclectic group of small businesses. Together, the Fox & Partners team has helped clients raise $10MM+ in capital, increase cash reserves by 400%, improve cash flow by 200%+ across multiple million-dollar businesses, and turn chaotic operations into scalable, cash-generating machines.
As a certified teacher, Hurley brings an educational edge that most firms can’t match, helping CEOs, investors, and owners truly understand their numbers so they can make smarter, faster decisions that drive growth. Hurley also offers his expertise as a leader in faith communities and nonprofit organizations.
