I'm a fractional CFO for growth-stage technology companies, with a deal background most fractional CFOs don't have. I've built the operating model for 50+ companies from seed through Series E, across SaaS, fintech, tech-enabled services, manufacturing, and hardware. As a partner at an M&A advisory firm I've also closed 10 transactions and led execution on 30+ live mandates across vertical software, fintech, and tech-enabled services, mostly $10M to $100M enterprise value. The practical difference: I build models the way investors and buyers actually read them. Three-statement models, driver-based forecasts, board and KPI reporting, valuation (DCF, comps, LBO), and diligence-ready financials ahead of a raise or a sale. Everything is built from scratch around the real drivers of your business, whether that's a bookings to ARR build on a SaaS model or unit economics, inventory, and capex on a hardware ramp. I don't work from templates, and investors can tell when a model came from one. Typical engagements: • Investor-ready financial model for a raise (seed through Series E) • Ongoing fractional CFO / FP&A work: forecasting, cash and working capital management, board reporting • Transaction readiness: getting financials, KPIs, and the data room ready for diligence, then sitting on your side of the table through it Before this I worked in capital markets at J.P. Morgan and Evercore, and I hold FINRA Series 7, 63, and 79. I also run my modeling work with AI tooling in place of junior staff, so turnaround is faster than you'd get from a firm billing you for a team. Happy to do cosultation calls to see if I can help you improve your business.

I’m a strategic finance and operations professional with over fifteen years of experience in the banking and financial services industry. For much of my career, I worked in high-performing environments where 50 to 60-hour workweeks were the norm. I led financial operations at institutions like Citizens Business Bank and Bank of America, developing expertise in financial decision modeling, budgeting, forecasting, reporting, internal controls, and regulatory compliance. These roles demanded precision, adaptability, and a deep understanding of financial systems. I now bring these skills to every freelance engagement. After years of being immersed in the fast-paced world of corporate finance, I made the deliberate decision to step back and raise a family. That transition led me here to freelance consulting, where I continue to do what I excel at, building financial models, advising on operational strategy, and helping organizations align their finances with long-term business goals on a more flexible schedule. Currently, I serve as Director of Finance and Operations at a mission-driven healthcare startup, where I oversee all financial functions, guide cross-functional teams, and provide strategic counsel to executive leadership. I’ve successfully led system conversions from cash to accrual accounting, mapped their Chart of Accounts, strengthened GAAP compliance, and driven improvements in financial clarity and decision-making. I hold an MBA from California State University, Fullerton, where I graduated with honors and was inducted into the Beta Gamma Sigma honor society. I also earned a B.A. from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I always focus on delivering thoughtful, high-impact financial solutions with clarity, integrity, and efficiency.
