In this episode of Unfiltered Finance, Ron Geffner sits down with Frank Tumminello, CEO and co-founder of FileForms, to discuss his journey from investment banking and private equity to building one of the fastest-growing compliance software platforms in the country.

Frank explains how a $400 late filing penalty inspired him to create FileForms, why he chose to build software instead of buying an existing company, and what he's learned about entrepreneurship, product development, acquisitions, AI, partnerships, and scaling a modern SaaS business.

The conversation covers private equity, startup growth, API-first software, distribution strategy, M&A, compliance technology, founder lessons, AI, and building a customer-first company.

Whether you're a founder, investor, operator, or entrepreneur, this episode offers practical insights into building a scalable business from the ground up.
