About Still North

Still North exists for the companies caught in between: too complex for a bookkeeper, too early for a full-time CFO. We built a specialist finance team that fills that gap with executive-level work at a cost a growth-stage business can carry.

The Name

Still, and North

The name comes from Dartmouth’s alma mater, where “the still north” speaks to steadiness. The two words carry the promise we make to clients. Still is a sense of calm in a noisy business environment. North is a clear direction when financial uncertainty abounds.

The Founder

Chris Allen, Managing Director

Chris Allen founded Still North after a successful corporate finance career and a development path forged in  the Army and refined at Dartmouth and Yale. The military years shaped how the firm operates: steady, direct, and focused on the mission in front of us. That background is also why Still North stays proudly rooted in the veteran and military community.

The Team

Hand-picked, credentialed, and built as one unit

Still North was built by hand-picking finance professionals with experience at the highest levels of the field: Big 4 accounting firms, Goldman Sachs, and corporate finance, alongside CPA-credentialed controllers and Advanced QuickBooks Online Certified ProAdvisor bookkeepers. The team is remote and spread across the US, which keeps our cost structure lean, and comes on-site when the work calls for it.

What makes the model different is not any one resume. It is that each engagement draws on the right specialist for each task, so clients get a whole finance function instead of one stretched-thin hire.
