Meet Ken Peterson

NextLevel Founder

Ken Peterson founded NextLevel in 2002 as a way to fulfill his vision of helping entrepreneurs. He has spent his career in small, entrepreneurial companies and seen (and been a part of) the good, the bad and the ugly. That experience led him to also understand that most entrepreneurs and small business owners have never been exposed to the tools or resources that make their jobs as Presidents and CEO’s easier. Rock solid, efficient accounting and finance systems that provide accurate and timely data are critical to executives as they lead their companies. Ken also saw that these companies couldn’t afford nor did they need a full-time resource, Controller or CFO, hence the need for
NextLevel.
