Four decades in every seat at the table.

Public accounting. CFO. CEO. Founder-owner. Four completed exits. I've built, financed, bought, sold, and rescued businesses — and I bring all of it to the table.

The short version

I solve the problem — I don't fill a role.

I partner with founder-led and growth-stage companies that have outgrown tactical finance support but aren't ready for a full-time CFO. My engagements are hands-on, execution-oriented, and structured to build durable financial credibility before it's demanded.

I've operated on both sides of the table: raising and deploying capital, sitting across from investors and regulators, and living through the transactions I now help clients prepare for.
