John Larson is Chief Financial/Operating Officer for Cantata Adult Life Services.

He is responsible for all accounting and finance including refinancing and bond offers at Cantata.  John joined The British Home 20 years ago as an accountant, was promoted to Director of Accounting several years later and eventually to Chief Financial Officer.  John was named Chief Operating Officer in 2011.

As Chief Financial Officer, John was instrumental in the addition of The Woodlands assisted living apartments to The British Home's residential options in 2000.  This was a transformational step for the organization and laid the foundation for the new strategic vision of Cantata Adult Life Services.

"When I came to The British Home, I was surprised to find an organization that was not driven by growth or profit, but by their mission to deliver the highest quality of life to the people they serve," said John.  "This was a wonderful opportunity to match my skills with their mission.  The financial stability we have achieved over the past two decades has allowed us to move forward and offer even more life-enhancing services and opportunities for our clients to live their best lives."

John's career in finance began as an accounting supervisor at Old Republic International Corporation.  He currently serves on the Board of Directors and as Treasurer of Trinity Risk Solutions and Abbeyfield Senior Housing.  He also serves on advisory committees for several local community groups.  A licensed Nursing Home Administrator, John was awarded the AAHSA Leadership Fellow, 2009 - 2010.

John earned a Bachelor's Degree in accounting from University of Illinois at Chicago.
