Vacher Group

Vacher Group started 11 years ago with a unique knowledge base and a couple of clients.  Today they are a quiet and humble part of the community, managing transitions so quietly and seamlessly, you are surely living within a few minutes of a client they have worked with.  Today, Vacher Group serves an ever-growing group of clients and remains a uniquely thoughtful and valuable resource for an ever-changing dynamic in Portland.  The ability to bring a professional approach and focus on process rather than outcome allows Vacher Group to use their knowledge and well-established practices to bring clarity, value, and results.  They are also Portlanders who attend Blazer and Timbers games, laugh a lot, work hard, ride bikes, and live green, but don’t take everything too seriously.  We care about our community and volunteer as much as possible, simply seeing this as something we all do.

A LITTLE ABOUT DEAN VACHERESSE

Dean Vacheresse started as a dishwasher and worked in kitchens and fine dining restaurants while he obtained his accounting degree.  His work and studies led him back to management, accounting, and executive roles in larger F&B companies.  In 2003 he left the corporate world and began working with Portland restauranteurs in transition, where he saw in Portland, high-level professionals serving larger entities leaving a lack of real professionals assisting smaller restaurants, bars, and small businesses.  There was a clear need that was not purely operational, legal, or financial, but rather a need for professional guidance that balanced and understood the intersection of all three and how they need to be considered as a whole rather than separately.  Dean’s approach is distinguished by his ability to understand and balance the operational, legal and financial aspects of a business, as well as his candid, open, and intelligent input.
