THE PROBLEM

Scaling your business requires sophisticated financial leadership, but hiring a full-time CFO isn't always feasible.

Too often, growing companies struggle with:

• Financial reporting gaps that create compliance risks and audit challenges

• Systems that can't support the complexity of growth

• The need for strategic financial leadership without the full-time executive salary

• Teams that lack the technical depth for complex accounting and compliance requirements

You need a seasoned finance leader who can scale your financial operations and build the infrastructure for sustainable growth.

YOUR GUIDE

My expertise centers on strategic financial management - delivering clean audits, implementing robust internal controls, and providing the reporting and analysis that drives informed decision making. I've led global financial operations across multiple entities and geographies, managed complex technical accounting challenges, and built the financial infrastructure that allows companies to scale with confidence.

I work with companies that are:

• Scaling their finance function for growth, funding, or audit requirements
