Most businesses don't have a numbers problem, they have a decision problem. The data exists, but leadership cannot always trust it enough to act on it. I help fix that. I specialize in DTC, ecommerce, CPG, retail and founder-led businesses where financial data is fragmented across Shopify, Amazon, Faire, Stripe, PayPal, PayArc, Funnelish, Wise, Mercury, Airwallex, QBO and Xero. My work starts with controller-level cleanup: making the numbers reliable, then building the reporting system that turns them into decisions. Recent work includes rebuilding the financial reporting layer for an eight-figure multi-channel DTC health brand, reconciling revenue across payment processors and banks, correcting channel mapping issues, resolving prior-period entries affecting current-period reporting, and establishing a cleaner monthly close cadence with founder-facing reporting. I also built a channel P&L and retail ramp model for a CPG brand expanding into retail covering DTC, retail, wholesale and hospitality, with SKU-level COGS, unit economics, store-ramp economics, and KPI reporting connecting marketing spend to margin outcomes. Recent projects: ◆ Multi-channel DTC health brand Reconciled Shopify, Amazon, payment processor and bank activity into a cleaner monthly reporting process. Corrected channel mapping issues in QBO, resolved prior-period entries affecting current-period results, improved the monthly close/reporting cadence. and built founder facing P&L/KPI reporting with source-confidence notes. ◆ CPG brand expanding into retail Served as the financial thought partner to the founder on channel strategy and growth decisions.

Delivered scenario analysis supporting pricing, channel prioritization, and retail expansion sequencing. KPI reporting framework built for ongoing leadership planning. ◆ International luxury services brand Built management reporting structure, monthly close process and financial visibility framework in Xero. Engagement included multi-currency reconciliation and FX treatment across international client transactions. ◆ Multi-year ERP data analysis Identified approximately $500K of cost-saving opportunities across vendors, staffing and operational inefficiencies, delivered as an actionable recommendations report for leadership.
