We are so excited to announce the integration of Relish Food Project into Stage 1 Financial. Like Stage 1, Relish’s foundation is in the early stage CPG community. Founded by Dawn Techow and Cassie Abrams in 2015, Relish has been a staple offering outsourced accounting, finance and capital raising services to over 30 CPG brands in the food and beverage space.
“Stage 1 Financial was previously introduced to Dawn and the team from Relish Food Project several years ago. We have been so impressed by the growth of Relish and the admiration that Dawn and the entire Relish team has garnered in the market. It seems only natural to join these two companies and expand our national presence even further. With this integration, we are looking forward to gaining new team members to our family, continuing our growth in 2020 and surpassing all of our original expectations for 2021.” Katy Triefenbach, CEO – Stage 1 Financial
“Relish Food Project is thrilled to join with Stage 1 Financial to build on the success of both companies in providing finance and accounting services to growing CPG companies. Cassie Abrams and I started Relish Food Project with the thought that CPG entrepreneurs don’t start companies because they love accounting. Our goal was to deliver the numbers needed for smart decision–making to innovators and thinkers. The integration of Relish Food Project into Stage 1 Financial allows us to fully deliver on this goal. I am so thrilled for my clients and my staff to become a part of this smart, experienced company and to grow together as a family.” Dawn Techow, Co-founder (Relish Food Project), CFO – Stage 1 Financial
