Albert Ramos Jr. is the Founder and Managing Member of STRATEGO (StrategoIntel.com) and CEO of Valisights (Valisights.com). He is the operator-first Fractional CFO in fitness, wellness, and longevity, and increasingly the same call comes from operators in construction, manufacturing, restaurant, CPG, e-commerce, recruiting, medical and health practices, and medispa concepts who need institutional-grade finance leadership without a $250K full-time hire. Stratego is built around the STRATEGO Finance OS — a three-layer system pairing AI intelligence and automation with operator-grade judgment. The work itself is institutional-grade finance leadership at fractional speed: 13-week cash flow forecasts, monthly financial packages, unit economics analysis, capital raise prep, M&A and QoE diligence, debt-stack and lease economics, and incentive compensation design. Sixteen years of P&L ownership at scale taught Albert the difference between a finance-first CFO and an operator-first one. He's run the floor, integrated acquisitions, navigated downturns, and led high-performing teams across multiple states. That background is why his clients get cash visibility and a clear action list inside the first 30 days, not a six-month consulting engagement. Albert is also CEO of Valisights, an AI-powered Finance OS platform serving CFOs, FP&A leaders, PE operators, and CPA firms with real-time forecasting, scenario planning, and decision intelligence. He hosts The Owner Seat Podcast, releasing twice weekly to Spotify, Apple, and YouTube, and writes The AI-Powered Finance Guide, a weekly newsletter for finance leaders and owners on practical, AI-enabled cash-flow forecasting, M&A modeling, and finance strategy. Albert has been recognized by CFO.com and the World Finance Forum, and is a member of The CFO Leadership Council and the CFO Alliance Group. Based in Houston, TX, he holds a BA in Economics from Occidental College and an MBA in Finance from the University of Redlands. Faith and family-first is the operating principle: the business funds the life, not the other way around..
