About Vincent
Vincent Nguyen has spent his career inside the Southern California agency and media ecosystem — not studying it from a distance.
He is Head of Finance at Foodbeast and fractional CFO at World of Dance. Before that he spent five years as fractional CFO to Pattern and Domaine Worldwide, four years as Finance Manager at Column Five, and nine years as financial consultant to The Golden State Company. He currently holds the fractional controller seat at Apiary Digital and Soda & Lime, and has held it at Welcome Villain Films and CRFTWRX.
Look closely at that list and you will notice how many of those engagements are still running. That is the tell. Vince’s work compounds: a clean close becomes reliable reporting, reliable reporting becomes a forecast people trust, and a trusted forecast becomes the basis for decisions a founder used to make on instinct.
That is the through-line of his career. He is unusually good at the unglamorous middle of agency finance — getting the books right, getting them right on time, and then making them say something useful about utilization, project profitability, and where the cash is actually going. It is less visible than strategy. It is also the part that determines whether the strategy survives contact with the month-end close.
As co-founder and managing partner, Vince leads delivery across the firm’s client base and sets the standard for how a Good CFO engagement runs day to day. He is the reason the work holds up long after the first conversation ends.
