About

I've built financial systems for startups from the inside.

As an Accounting & Finance Advisory Manager at a leading fractional CFO firm, I work directly inside the financial operations of high-growth, venture-backed startups — building the systems that keep companies fundable under real pressure.

With 15+ years in accounting and 4+ years in acquisition finance — including 3 full M&A cycles — I have supported companies through $300M+ in combined funding events. I bring that same institutional-grade rigor directly to early-stage founders, without the agency overhead.

Fractional CFO firm background — hands-on experience inside one of the most respected startup CFO firms in the industry, serving hundreds of venture-backed companies.
3 full acquisition cycles — from due diligence prep to close, I've seen every financial gap that kills deals before they happen.
Direct access, not a team — when you hire me, you get me. No handoffs to junior staff, no agency markup.
"15+ years in accounting. 4+ years in acquisition finance. Built inside a top startup CFO firm. That experience is now available to early-stage founders who need it most."
