W. Michael Hsu, founder and CEO of DeepSky, has pioneered the outsourced CFO/CAS domain for a decade and a half. DeepSky distinguishes itself by transforming complex numbers into impactful narratives for entrepreneurs, underscoring that “numbers tell stories," and delivering not just profits but also freedom.

Through his latest venture, MEASURE x HACK, Michael sets an audacious goal: to free 1 billion entrepreneurs to achieve more, work less, and live life. Central to this vision is the elevation of accountants and CPAs. The CFO Club, inspired by Michael’s early professional challenges, aims to transform accountants and CPAs into pivotal CFO roles, amplifying their impact on client success and, in turn, their own bottom line. The era of stagnation and feelings of being undervalued and underpaid ends now.

Michael had the distinction of being the youngest invitee to AICPA's leadership roundtable and was handpicked for an exclusive Harvard entrepreneurial program. He has led businesses to 8-figure heights and has been instrumental in major company exits. His ethos? Simplify complexities and spread knowledge, primarily through MEASURE x HACK and CFO Club, to provide unparalleled value for CEOs.

Globetrotting as a digital nomad, Michael stands as a testament to MEASURE x HACK's effectiveness, exemplifying not just success but also purpose-driven accomplishment.
