Have questions or ready to secure your financial foundation? Connect below.

I operate on a retained basis, embedding myself into your executive team for a set number of hours or specific deliverables per month. You get the strategic insight of a full-time CFO at a fraction of the equity and cash cost.

My core expertise lies with Seed to Pre-IPO technology, SaaS, and FinTech companies. I specialize in ventures experiencing rapid growth that require immediate structural maturation.

A standard 3-statement dynamic financial model combined with a tailored operational dashboard typically takes 3 to 6 weeks, depending entirely on the complexity and cleanliness of your existing historical data.

Absolutely. I act as your quantitative shield during capital raising. I review term sheets, validate valuations, defend the financial narrative in board meetings, and manage the data room diligence process.
