Helping the GOP One Report At A Time
Who We Are
We Are Your Trusted Political & Financial Experts
CFO Shield is a team of finance professionals who are also dedicated Republicans who want to see the GOP continue to win elections in Texas. Fred Tate, the founder of CFO Shield, noticed the need for campaign bookkeeping services when a friend ran for office and was heavily criticized for simple, preventable mistakes in his TEC report. Those simple, easy-to-make errors likely cost him an election. Fred decided to take his finance and accounting skills and offer it to GOP candidates to give them peace of mind with their TEC Reports.
Fred’s professional career includes multiple diverse experiences that helped him see how small business is a key driver of economic growth, but often misses out on services that are only traditionally available to larger companies. He has worked in global operations that have given him a detailed understanding of outsourced operations. Fred leads a team thoroughly experienced in delivering the best possible customer service.
Fred is a longtime conservative Republican activist. He has worked on countless campaigns in many different capacities. In college, Fred was honored to serve as Chairman of Young Conservatives of Texas (YCT). Fred has attended every Texas GOP State Convention as a delegate since 1998, missing only one when he married his beautiful bride in 2004. Since 2011, Fred has been an ex-officio member of the State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) as a member of the Candidate Resource Committee (CRC). The CRC builds the bench of the Texas Republican Party through fundraising and funding down-ballot GOP candidates.
Fred was appointed by Governor Greg Abbott to serve as a member on the Judicial Compensation Commission (JCC). The mission of the JCC is to recommend the salaries for all justices and judges of the Supreme Court, the Court of Criminal Appeals, the courts of appeals, and the district courts.
He is also an active supporter of his community, giving his time to support several service organizations and his favorite charity, Patriot PAWS Service Dogs of Rockwall, Texas. Fred also serves as Cub Master for his son’s Cub Scout Pack in Colleyville, Texas.
Fred earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from Baylor University with a double major in Finance and Economics. He is keenly focused on helping GOP Candidates to be successful and keeping Texas Red.
