Bill is a CPA (inactive) and holds a Bachelor of Science in Commerce degree in Accounting from Santa Clara University where he was a student-athlete (SCU Crew).  He is a guest lecturer for the Sonoma State University School of Business and Economics and has served as a Trustee for an educational institution.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with Bill Beyer’s contributions to Tubi as interim CFO during the hypergrowth stage of the company. His experienced management acumen, strategic insights, financial expertise allowed us to be super-selective in our CFO search.  He owned a tremendous debt financing providing Tubi with great optionality for further financings as well as the necessary resources to fund our growth. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring Bill and FLG in again on Tubi’s behalf.”
