Tenace, LLC, a leading provider of financial and technology consulting services specializing in custom financial and IT solutions for businesses and government contractors, today announced that Co-Founder, Becky Aquino, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO). In this expanded leadership role, Aquino will serve as CEO and CFO reflecting the company’s natural evolution and positioning Tenace to expand its service offerings while maintaining its commitment to exceptional client service.
Rey Martinez, who co-founded Tenace with Becky and successfully led the company for the past eight years, will continue serving clients as an Advisor. With over 20 years of IT industry experience spanning cybersecurity, systems administration, and project management, Martinez has been instrumental in building Tenace into the trusted firm it is today. In his new role, he will maintain his focus on supporting technology and IT clients while serving in an advisory capacity.
“Over the past eight years, we’ve built Tenace into a company that delivers exceptional value to our clients through both financial and technology services,” said Rey. “As I’ve watched Becky excel in serving our financial practice clients and building our government contracting compliance expertise, it became clear that her efforts align perfectly with Tenace’s next chapter. Her leadership in areas such as fractional CFO services, bookkeeping, and government contracting compliance has been exceptional, and I’m excited to see her take the company forward as I continue to focus on supporting our technology clients.”
Becky brings over two decades of distinguished experience in government contracting and financial leadership to her expanded role. Her deep understanding of federal regulations and financial nuances has already made significant positive impacts on Tenace’s clients. Additionally, she has become a recognized voice in the business community, actively growing Tenace’s network through her involvement in professional organizations such as ProVisors.
“I am honored to lead Tenace into 2025 and beyond,” said Becky. “Our mission remains clear: to provide expert financial and IT services that our clients can rely on, so they can focus on growing their business. We will continue to specialize in delivering custom solutions that ensure compliance, streamline operations, and protect critical assets—all while keeping things simple, affordable, and efficient for our clients. Rey has built an incredible foundation through his technical expertise and leadership, and I look forward to building upon it as we expand our service offerings and client relationships.”
Under Becky’s leadership, Tenace will continue to provide exceptional value through its financial and technology services while exploring new opportunities to serve clients’ evolving needs. Her expertise as a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Fraud Examiner, and Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional positions the company to expand its services particularly in government contracting compliance and financial advisory services, while maintaining the strong technology practice established under Rey’s leadership and advising.
