A Personal Approach to Business Finance
Financial Clarity. Strategic Growth. Real Partnership.
At The Peter Principle, we bring clarity to the numbers that drive your business forward. Based in Farmington, Michigan, we provide fractional CFO and accounting services designed specifically for small and growing businesses that need strategic financial guidance without the overhead of a full-time executive.
Founded by Peter Zebari, our firm is built on a simple belief: every business deserves access to expert financial leadership, regardless of size. With more than ten years of accounting and finance leadership experience, Peter combines technical expertise with operational insight to help businesses navigate complexity, strengthen their financial foundation, and make decisions with confidence.
Peter's background includes serving as an Accounting Controller, public accountant, and operations director—roles that have given him a comprehensive understanding of both the financial and operational challenges businesses face. From full-cycle accounting and GAAP compliance to financial analysis and process improvement, he brings a strategic, hands-on approach to every engagement.
