Hire the Best Business Consultants in Los Angeles, CA

Founders bring me in when a meaningful decision is approaching and the numbers are not yet ready. That usually means one of five things: ▶ a capital raise is coming ▶ debt or lender conversations need stronger support ▶ cash visibility is weak ▶ the forecast cannot be trusted ▶ investor, buyer, or diligence scrutiny is getting closer I work with founder-led companies that need decision-grade finance, not bookkeeping-only support. My core engagements include: 🔹 CFO Reviewed Financials™ A structured financial diagnostic that identifies the most important reporting, margin, liquidity, and control issues affecting decision quality. 🔹 CFO Reviewed Financial Model™ A diligence-grade review of an existing model to pressure-test assumptions, logic integrity, capital needs, and investor-readiness. 🔹 Comprehensive Financial Model™ A dynamic, driver-based model built for fundraising, debt, hiring decisions, expansion planning, or exit preparation. 🔹 Investor-Ready / Lender-Ready / Buyer-Ready Sprints Structured, time-boxed engagements for companies preparing for investor conversations, lender or credit discussions, buyer diligence, or exit-readiness planning. 🔹 Ongoing CFO Advisory Financial leadership for founders who need stronger forecasting, KPI discipline, reporting cadence, and strategic finance judgment. Published rate reflects initial advisory and diagnostic work. Larger readiness, modeling, and CFO engagements are scoped separately based on decision context, complexity, and timeline. Selected outcomes include: ✔ $29.3M raised across four VC rounds ✔ $20M expansion funding secured ✔ support for a $22.0M acquisition completed ahead of plan ✔ a $5M telehealth startup sale ✔ a turnaround from a $1.5M loss to a $0.5M profit I am a fit when the business has a real financial decision in front of it. I am not the right fit for bookkeeping-only, tax-return-only, or cosmetic spreadsheet work. If you are preparing for capital, debt, diligence, cash restructuring, or a strategic exit, send a message with the decision you need to make and the timeline you are working against.

I help founders, startups, and growth-stage teams turn complex opportunities into clear strategy, sharper positioning, stronger brands, and executable plans. I’m a global startup advisor, serial entrepreneur, and Yale MBA with 20+ years of experience advising entrepreneurs and building businesses across AI, consumer, marketplaces, membership, loyalty, Web3, travel, financial services, real estate, retail, and emerging markets. I’ve advised 1,000+ founders and operators, traveled to 100+ countries, and worked across industries where the right strategy depends on understanding markets, customers, competition, incentives, timing, taste, and how people actually behave. Clients usually come to me when they need clarity on one or more of these: • Startup strategy, positioning, and business model design • Brand strategy, messaging, narrative, and market feel • AI-era opportunities, workflows, and market strategy • Go-to-market, growth, loyalty, membership, and rewards models • Pitch decks, investor narratives, financial models, and strategic plans • Competitive strategy, pricing, customer psychology, and execution priorities Earlier in my career, I managed Membership Rewards partnerships and card strategy at American Express, including work across the Black, Platinum, and Gold Card portfolios. I have an MBA from Yale and a BA from Cornell. My strength is taking messy, high-stakes business questions and turning them into structured clarity: what matters, what does not, where the leverage is, and what to do next. A lot of my work sits where strategy, brand, UX, incentives, and execution meet: finding the angle, the story, the feel, and the business logic that make something click. I’m a game theory thinker and former professional poker player, so I pay close attention to incentives, competition, risk, uncertainty, and whether a business is being looked at honestly, not just optimistically. I also genuinely enjoy this work. I like big ideas, weird markets, ambitious founders, sharp strategy, strong brands, good design, and figuring out what is really going on beneath the surface of a business. Personally, I’m a lifelong athlete, avid traveler, and deeply curious about food, language, culture, cities, markets, and how people think in different parts of the world. Hablo español. Je parle français.
