We’re referral or invite-only, because let’s face it, not everyone’s ready for what we bring to the table. This ensures you’re in the company of women as driven and relentless as you are. With a focus on quality over quantity, we handle only a select few of clients to ensure we are present when you need us.
How we work

Your results are our priority. Using a blend of psychology and analytical data, we craft cunning strategies. We're here to consult, advise, support, and execute for you on your wealth journey.
WORK WITH CENTURE
THE START OF CENTURE
I'm Shay Bacani - strategist, CFO, mother, & wife.
Meet your Chief Financial Officer
// Unlike all those "Finance Gurus" you see online who got rich by writing books and selling courses, I earned my 7-figure net worth over 7 years, working with 100+ female founders and managing $9M per month.
// My start into finance began when I was 18-years old, working in Corporate Accounting and Finance for over half a decade in the B2B sector. By climbing the corporate ladder and gaining a mentor in the c-suite position, I was able to work in almost every sector of finance: accounting, investor relations, financial planning & analysis and sales commissions.
// I’ve crafted decks for corporate investors, managed multiple 8-figures in revenue, produced and analyzed high level reports, and curated compensation plans for a department of 20+ employees.
One random night, I was reading a book called "Six Months to Six Figures", which gave me the bright idea to offer my experience in business finance to women in business.
That night, I emailed an agency owner, in my network, pitching my services. The cold email worked. I got my first client.
Working together, I helped scale her net-worth from $300k to over $2M through real estate and her business assets. She was able to pay herself and her staff more, pay 60% less in taxes, expand to 3 additional locations, and purchase 2 properties.
Other than the financial wins, what I loved most was the connection and relationship we were able to cultivate. Watching my clients evolve into better leaders & CEOs is truly the most rewarding part of what I do.
Within the first year, Centure Financial grew soley by word of mouth and our quality reputation. That is the power of my results-driven approach.
about me
the start of centure
// Sipping on a glass of chilled Rosé, with my husband, and watching reruns of Scandal.
// Taking my two little girls out for brunch in La Jolla — food is our love language.
// Spending the day off at the Ritz Carlton spa, getting a hot stone massage.
// Laying in bed, burning a Le Labo candle while enjoying a good book - preferably a biography or anything on business.

“Shay is an absolute powerhouse to work with. I’m so glad we connected before I launched my business because without Shay and her guidance, I would have been losing money right out the gate. With Shay, you’re not only getting a CFO but an all around business expert that knows how to compete, thrive, and differentiate in 2023. Couldn’t recommend her and her team enough!”
