Geoffrey Latsch

Strong financial leadership is about more than managing numbers. It is about protecting the financial stability of an organization so the people within it can focus on fulfilling its mission. As Chief Financial Officer of Pathways Counseling Center, Inc., Geoffrey Latsch believes responsible financial stewardship is essential to providing compassionate, consistent, and high-quality mental health services throughout Minnesota.

At Pathways, Geoffrey oversees financial strategy, budgeting, financial operations, resource allocation, and long-term financial sustainability. He works alongside executive, clinical, and administrative leadership to ensure financial decisions support the organization’s mission, its professionals, and the individuals and families who depend on its services.

As CFO, Geoffrey recognizes that financial decisions have consequences far beyond budgets and balance sheets. They influence the resources available to mental health professionals, the organization’s ability to maintain consistent services, and the long-term stability of the care provided to clients. His leadership philosophy emphasizes balancing financial responsibility with the needs of the professionals and communities Pathways serves. He believes effective financial management requires understanding organizational priorities, collaborating with those closest to the work, and making responsible decisions that protect both present operations and future opportunities.

For Geoffrey, financial leadership is ultimately about protecting the organization’s ability to fulfill its mission. His commitment is to maintain a financially responsible, operationally sound organization that provides professionals with the stability and resources they need to deliver dependable, compassionate care.

Geoffrey is committed to ongoing professional education in business leadership, financial management, accounting, financial literacy, and investment strategies. His professional development includes independent study and participation in financial education opportunities through Life Surge and SurgeU, which provide faith-based business and financial education focused on investment knowledge, entrepreneurship, and financial decision-making. He applies his developing financial knowledge alongside his practical experience managing the financial responsibilities of a growing mental health organization. 

Geoffrey also holds a graduate degree in Criminal Justice Leadership and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Concordia University, as well as an associate degree in Criminal Justice from Alexandria Technical College.

In addition to his responsibilities as CFO, Geoffrey serves as Director of Pathways’ First Responder Mental Health Program, supporting the organization’s commitment to providing specialized mental health services to those who serve their communities.

Outside of work, Geoffrey enjoys Brazilian jiu-jitsu, exercise, golf, snowmobiling, and spending time with his wife, Katie, their two sons, Jack and Brady, and their family dog with brindle coloring, named Winter.
