Who we serve

  • You've outgrown spreadsheets. You need clearer financial visibility, a trusted partner for major decisions, and someone who can translate numbers into strategy — without hiring a full-time CFO.

  • Post-close integration, reporting uplift, or interim coverage during a CFO search. We step in quickly, speak the language of PE, and deliver the rigor your board expects.

  • Founder-led, multi-site, and global businesses — from early-stage to scaled operations — facing margin visibility challenges, ERP transitions, or forecasting gaps. We bring hands-on experience operating at scale and building finance functions that drive clarity and performance.

  • Architecture and engineering consultants, infrastructure firms, and professional services businesses operating under federal funding requirements, where FAR compliance, project accounting, and audit-readiness aren't optional.

  • Businesses navigating growth, turnaround, or exit — where improved cash flow, stronger financial visibility, and disciplined execution are critical. description

Selected results

  • Stabilized cash flow by strengthening collections discipline, improving AR visibility, and restructuring equipment purchases through a lease-buyback approach. Increased liquidity and reduced reliance on external financing during a pressured operating period.

  • Improved profitability through cost visibility, tighter performance management, and closer alignment between finance and operations. Identified cost reduction opportunities and implemented more disciplined reporting and accountability.

  • Led the consolidation of multiple legacy accounting systems into a single cloud-based ERP, improving data integrity, reporting consistency, and operational efficiency across the organization.

  • Supported integration of multi-site international operations, aligning financial processes, reporting, and teams to create a scalable structure and capture synergies following acquisition.
