Who Jose Cerrillo Is
With over three years of experience navigating the front lines of business finance, Jose Cerrillo has established himself as a trusted consultant and a relentless advocate for the entrepreneurial community. He built his foundation as the driving force behind Cerrillo Financial Group, where he earned a reputation for transparency, speed, and high-level financial problem-solving.
In 2026, Jose expanded his vision by launching J & I Acquisitions LLC to address the broader operational needs of modern business owners. While Cerrillo Financial Group continues to provide expert Financial Services, J & I Acquisitions serves as the premier hub for Business Capital, Merchant Services, and Strategic Growth Solutions.
Both companies are headquartered in Oakbrook Terrace, IL, allowing Jose to offer a “total-picture” strategy that ensures both the personal and business financial health of his clients are managed with the same elite level of expertise.
Jose’s unique edge lies in the deep-seated relationships he has cultivated with major banks. These institutions now regularly refer their own clients to J & I Acquisitions when traditional lending criteria are too rigid.
By leveraging a massive network of 70+ specialized lenders, the VizyPay ecosystem, and the BOX Energy Exchange, Jose provides the strategic tools and capital that traditional banks simply cannot.
Today, Jose Cerrillo remains committed to the same “human-first” values that have defined his career, providing business owners across the country with the advocacy they need to protect their margins, lower their overhead, and scale their vision.
