Alan Padgett – Chairman / Founder
Alan Padgett founded Succentrix Business Advisors with a singular vision: to democratize top‑tier financial leadership for growing businesses. With more than 25 years of experience leading finance teams at Fortune 100 companies and steering multimillion‑dollar M&A deals, Alan saw firsthand how smaller firms were left navigating complex financial terrain without expert guidance. He launched Succentrix in 2019 to bridge that gap, building an organization whose franchise model delivers Fortune‑level CFO expertise—but with the agility, personal service, and cost‑effectiveness that entrepreneurs need.
As Chairman, Alan sets the strategic direction for Succentrix’s growth, leading the firm’s expansion into new markets and forging partnerships with banks, chambers of commerce, and industry associations. He personally mentors every new Owner‑Partner through a rigorous certification process—covering everything from advanced cash‑flow modeling and valuation techniques to ethical leadership and client engagement best practices. Deeply committed to community impact, Alan also serves on the advisory boards of several nonprofit financial‑literacy initiatives, ensuring that Succentrix not only drives profitability for its clients, but also promotes sustainable economic development in the neighborhoods it serves.
