Hire the Best Consultants in New York, NY

I’ve reviewed 1000s of startup decks, 10+ years of experience in VC in USA in various roles: VC Partner, Head of Investor Relations, 2x founder. I think like an investor, structure like a consultant, write like a strategist, design like a pro. I work with VC, PE funds, startups and businesses of all stages on: 🔴 Sharpening and writing investor narratives that cut through the noise - pitch decks, memos, onepagers and investor materials 🔴 Design that is not decoration. It is hierarchy and intent, and a spark of magic ✨ - Branding, materials design, visual language My CORE PRINCIPLES in investor materials: - Sharp positioning, avoid generics. “Backing exceptional founders who drive innovation” 🤢 must go - Assume people don’t read, they scan. Cut text, use tight bullets, numbers, logos and highlights - Lead with traction, team track record, tangible insights. That is what actually sells My PROCESS: - Materials revision, discovery call with founders - Writing or refining content, iteration-review loops - Polish with professional design after content is set OR - Pitch deck review consultation with honest, practical feedback. Book in my profile 🔴 I maintain relationships with VCs, debt lenders, and family offices and selectively refer aligned deal flow. I am a registered broker-dealer in the USA.

Taxes shouldn’t feel like a once-a-year fire drill. I help high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and growing businesses transform tax compliance into a year-round strategic advantage. My goal is simple: ensure you keep more of what you earn, remain fully compliant, and make financial decisions with total confidence. I don’t just "check boxes" or look in the rearview mirror. I take a forward-looking approach to tax planning, focusing on liability minimization, cash flow optimization, and the total elimination of surprises. By understanding the “why” behind your numbers, I help you position your business for maximum tax efficiency. What I specialize in: • Strategic tax planning & preparation • Cost segregation study • Partnerships (Form 1065) • S-Corporations (Form 1120-S) • C-Corporations (Form 1120) • Individuals (Form 1040) • Foreign-owned U.S. entities (Proforma 1120 & Form 5472) I also work closely with new and scaling businesses, guiding entrepreneurs through entity formation to ensure the most tax-efficient structure from day one. To support ongoing growth, I provide bookkeeping and financial analysis that delivers clear, high-level insights you can actually use to make better decisions. I believe the strongest partnerships are built on transparency and proactive communication—not last-minute emails. When you work with me, you gain a dedicated advisor who thinks ahead, explains the complex in simple terms, and is invested in your long-term success. If you’re looking for a proactive tax partner—not just a preparer—I’d be happy to learn more about your situation and discuss how a thoughtful tax strategy can improve your bottom line.
