Laurie Coldren, Co-CEO
My name is Laurie and I am the Co-CEO at CapForge. I received a B.S. from East Carolina University and began a career in education. Looking to expand into other fields, I joined CapForge in 2020 as part of the Client Services Department and found that I loved working with and educating clients. I expanded my role across HR, payroll, billing and admin and eventually moved up to the Executive Team in 2022.
I am originally from Virginia but have lived in San Diego with my husband since 2010.
Serra Gibbs, Co-CEO
My name is Serra Gibbs, and I am the Co-CEO here at CapForge. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from California State University San Marcos. Before transitioning into accounting, I spent several years in banking management, an experience that shaped my disciplined, detail-oriented approach to my current work.
I joined CapForge in 2018 as a bookkeeper, where I developed a deep understanding of the company’s operations and its clients’ needs. My contributions and expertise led to my promotion to the Executive Team in 2022, and I’ve continued to help guide the company’s growth ever since.
Originally from Southern California, I now live in Phoenix, Arizona, with my husband and our three children.
Matt Remuzzi, Owner/Founder
My name is Matt Remuzzi and I started CapForge back in 2000 after being laid off from a venture backed firm as part of the dotcom bust happening at the time. I have a BA from UCSD and an MBA from SDSU. CapForge started out as a consulting business for small businesses and has never strayed far from those roots.
In 2012 bookkeeping became the focus, with more accounting services added in each year including tax prep, payroll, coaching and advisory services, due diligence, and business exits all becoming part of the services offered. I continue to work on growing the business while the team runs the day to day operations and continues to ensure we’re always providing five star quality and service to our clients.
I was born in New York, grew up in LA and moved to San Diego for college and never left. My wife, son, daughter and two Labradors and I all now live in Carlsbad.

The strength of the company is the team here at CapForge. Everyone who works here is not only a highly qualified accounting specialist, but also a great person who treats each client’s business like it was their own. We strive to provide a great service at a great price in a timely manner so you can focus on your business.
We want to help you grow and improve your business every month and we do that by making sure you are getting the most accurate and most useful financial information available.
I am proud of the work we do and I am excited to be able to help as many clients as possible succeed and thrive in their small businesses. If you ever have a question, comment, complaint or praise, I’d love to hear it!
