CFO-Level Financial Leadership for Pacific Businesses
I am Richard Castillo, a CPA, ASA, AIA, and MBA-qualified finance executive with over 25 years of senior leadership experience. I have served as Group Financial Controller and CFO for organisations with revenues of up to USD 557 million, leading finance functions across diversified conglomerates, agribusiness, FMCG, property development, logistics, and tourism.
Today, through Pacific Accounts and Advisory, I bring that same level of strategic financial expertise directly to businesses across the Pacific — on a flexible, fractional basis.
I partner with business owners, CEOs, and Boards to cut through complexity, strengthen financial controls, and turn financial data into decisions that grow and protect their business. Whether you need a trusted finance partner for an ongoing engagement, project-based advisory, or a one-time financial overhaul, I deliver enterprise-grade thinking at a cost that makes sense for your organisation.
I hold professional memberships with CPA PNG, CPA Australia, AIA UK, and PICPA, and hold specialist certifications in Forensic Accounting & Fraud Examination (West Virginia State University, USA) and Decision-Making & Scenarios (Wharton, University of Pennsylvania, USA).
