Our Team
With the financial information your Vast team provides you, you are empowered to make the decisions you need to build the life of your dreams. Your committed Vast team is available year round
Dedicated financial experts, just for your business
Vast HQ is nestled in the heart of the Truckee Meadows in Northern Nevada. Our unique location has been a huge influence on the development of our "do what you love" ideology. We love participating in our community, getting outside and freeing up our clients so they have the opportunity to do the same.
Leadership
Tanya McCaffery
Founder, CEO
As head of The CFO Group, Tanya is one of the first to roll up her sleeves to help business owners improve their profitability and provide solutions that help them make smarter financial and tax decisions. Tanya’s easy approach to accounting is grounded in the belief that great accounting doesn’t have to be complicated or difficult. This unique approach has also earned her the title “The Financial Bodyguard” with many clients and colleagues - a title Tanya has come to love. Tanya believes that business owners are empowered with financial information.
Todd Sanneman
Vice President of Compliance
Car enthusiast Todd (or as we like to call him, Hot Rod Todd) has the last word on all things compliance at Vast. During his long career as a CPA, Todd has honed a keen eye for the small details that make a big difference to our clients. Anyone that has attended a “Todd Talk” will tell you, no-one at Vast knows more about doing things the right way, every time.
Tracey Gravelle
Vice President of Fulfillment
Systems, processes and deadlines are Tracey’s jam! As the VP of fulfillment Tracey manages deadlines, work flow and delivery of all Vast services. Mom of three, Tracey, approaches business by thinking like a business owner – what do you need, what is important, how can we provide it? When she is not helping keep our team focused and organized, she also volunteers her time with the local Reno chapter of a national charity league and boys team charity.
Jenny Coughlan
Director of Operations
Originally hailing from the U.K., you will often find Jenny either practicing her American accent, or doing whatever it takes to make sure Vast clients and team members have the best experience, always. Jenny’s favorite part of her job is helping people and creating connections – need something and not sure who to go to – Jenny’s your girl!
Associates
Kyle Farnworth
Vast Senior Lead
When Nevada native Kyle is not pouring over a pivot-table or teaching the team the nuances of Excel, you will find him at the golf course, ball field, shooting range – you name it, Kyle does it! A huge supporter of the Reno local food scene, Kyle is passionate about helping entrepreneurs understand their financial results and translate that into profit.
Erica Stroman
Vast Associate Lead
When Bookworm Erica is not focused on delivering accurate and timely financial statements for our clients, you will find her buried in a good book! She may sound like your stereotypical accountant, but don’t be fooled, Erica has a fun-loving side which brings a smile to the whole Vast Team.
Marlena Mason
Vast Senior Lead
New York native and CPA, Marlena, earned the title “Math Superstar” in high school. Today, she is known as a “Vast Superstar”! Marlena has a knack for making the numbers make sense, which allows her clients to understand what is important and effect change to grow their business. Being a CPA has a reputation of being stressful, which is why when Marlena is not in the Vast office, she can often be found at the yoga studio practicing her Zen!
Searah Stoops
Vast Lead
Searah’s childhood dream job was to be an ice-cream truck driver. Today, she is not serving up freshly made ice-cream cones, but she is serving up beautifully prepared, accurate financial information for her Vast clients. Searah loves accounting because it is like a puzzle, and her commitment to accurate financial information means she keeps looking until she has the answer!
Michael Perata
Vast Senior Tech
Mike comes from a family of Accountants, so it was only natural that he too pursue a career in accounting! Mike prides himself on his accuracy and efficiency, delivering the best possible product to our clients. When Mike isn’t scoring a hole in one for our Vast clients, you can find him on the green trying to do the same!
Aleigh Blake
Client Excellence Coordinator
“Office Mom” Aleigh is known in the Vast office for having a green-thumb, but she nurtures the Vast team as much as she does the office plants. Aleigh bridges the gap between our clients and the accounting team, facilitating the flow of information in and out of Vast to help our clients get their financial results when they need them!
Colton Di Loreto-Long
Tax Senior Lead
Colton is passionate about helping people. This is evident in his work helping our clients implement the best possible tax strategy. It is also evident through his volunteer work for the Nevada Junior Livestock Show Board and Reno Rodeo Association. Colton embodies what it means to be from Reno – hunting, fishing skiing, he even has a street named after him in Damonte Ranch! Colton advocates for our Vast clients with all things tax by getting to know our clients, understanding what is important to them and breaking down what can be complex concepts!
