Former CPA and native English speaker with 20 years of corporate finance experience across global and national leaders, including Goldman Sachs, Marks & Spencer, and Tabcorp. I partner with discerning financial service clients - including investment research houses, fintechs, and AP-syndicated publishers - who require more than just "content." I provide the strategic frameworks and technical rigor necessary for organisations that cannot afford to get the message wrong. In a market saturated with generic, low-quality output, I bridge the gap between complex financial data and authoritative, on-brand messaging. My work focuses on three core pillars: Strategic Advisory: Defining the message, audience, and technical calibration to ensure content drives commercial objectives. Governance & Frameworks: Building toolkits, SOPs, and editorial standards that make high-quality, technically sound communication repeatable. Technical Delivery: Producing high-stakes editorial and research-driven pieces where accuracy, judgment, and institutional voice are non-negotiable. Whether you need to inform investors, support decision-makers, or build trust with a sophisticated audience, I help you get the message right before it goes out. If you are tired of burning time and effort rewriting poor-quality submissions or managing inconsistent narratives, I provide the professional, accurate delivery you need to move your pipeline forward without friction. My goal is simple: providing institutional-grade clarity to quality clients. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Formerly a finance manager and corporate business partner, I have expertise in leading financial planning, analysis, and commercial decision-making within complex organisations. I can guide your team through designing and implementing processes and controls to ensure strategic targets are delivered. I specialise in partnering with technology business units and have extensive experience with the intricacies of accounting and finance matters relevant to IT departments. Areas of expertise include capex and opex management, project partnering, business case development, finance training, policy development, and accounting for all things technology - including software development methodologies, digital transformations, Agile integration, and much more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING INTERVIEW REQUESTS Due to the volume of requests, I kindly ask that any interview requests or emails "reaching out to discuss" articulate as clearly as possible, the brief, a practical estimate of the amount of work required (words, hours, etc), and any necessary budget. Doing so will ensure that I can give your proposal the appropriate consideration.

By choosing to work with me, you're partnering with someone who sits at the intersection of venture capital, AI, and data-driven decision making. I'm currently part of Tidal Ventures, working closely with founders and early-stage companies — evaluating technology, data infrastructure, and business models from both an investor and operator perspective. With over 5 years across venture capital, financial analysis, and software development, I bring a rare end-to-end view of how products are built, scaled, and evaluated. My current focus is agentic AI — designing and deploying multi-agent systems, LLM-powered workflows, and AI automation that help businesses move faster and smarter. I don't just build things; I understand what investors look for, how AI agents fit into a product roadmap, and how technical decisions connect to real outcomes. Core competencies: - Agentic AI systems, multi-agent workflows, and LLM integration - Venture capital, investment analysis, and startup evaluation - Advanced Python, R, SQL, and Excel - Data engineering, portfolio analytics, and quantitative modelling - Business-first problem solving and systems thinking Whether you're a founder exploring AI automation, a fund looking for sharper analytical infrastructure, or a business ready to deploy agents at scale — I focus on work that actually moves the needle. I'm easy to work with, highly communicative, and genuinely enjoy tackling problems at the edge of what AI can do today.

I work as a freelance, contract-based corporate finance advisor, supporting private equity funds, family offices, and founder-led businesses on investment analysis, transactions, and decision-critical financial work. Engagements are typically project-based or short- to medium-term, integrating with internal teams to provide buy-side quality analysis, independent judgement, and clear financial narratives—without permanent headcount or incentive distortion. In parallel, I act as a selective business broker to SMEs in the $5–20m enterprise value range, focused on sell-side readiness, value articulation, and disciplined process management rather than volume brokerage. My work sits at the intersection of analysis, structure, and decision-making, helping capital and owners move forward with clarity and conviction.
