Hi, I’m Shaun — a finance and operations partner who loves turning messy, high-stakes problems into clean systems and clear decisions. With experience across Deloitte Consulting, global social enterprise, impact finance, and web3 innovation, I’ve served as CFO, Innovation Lead, Founder, and Program Director. I've been fortunate to design and launch a blockchain protocol for a $5M token raise, manage a six-figure DeFi treasury, and lead multi-million-dollar impact projects with government and philanthropic partners. Across all of these roles, my focus has been the same: build structures that make work feel lighter. I create financial models that founders actually use, roadmaps that cut through noise, and operational systems that bring calm to chaotic environments. Whether managing a crypto treasury, coordinating multi-sector impact bonds, or designing token governance, my approach is grounded, collaborative, and deeply thoughtful. If you’re looking for a fractional strategy + finance partner who can elevate your structure, insights, and execution, I can help you build systems that last — intuitive, aligned, and designed for real-world momentum.

I’m a financial writer, content strategist, and creative marketer with 5+ years of experience working with fintech startups, SaaS companies, and solo professionals. My work spans blog writing, SEO strategy, email marketing, UX copy, brand messaging, and creative asset design. I’ve led content at Finny (now part of Origin) and worked with platforms like Teller, Clair, and SuperMoney. I’ve managed newsletters for 70k+ subscribers, developed SEO content systems, built product onboarding flows, and created ad/social visuals in Figma for growth campaigns across Meta, LinkedIn, and Google. My writing covers a wide range of personal finance and business topics—investing, retirement, crypto, credit, taxes, insurance, estate planning, and small business—plus the deeper intersections of fintech, product, and marketing. I’m looking for thoughtful, long-term client partnerships where clarity, quality, and performance all matter. Rates are flexible depending on scope, with per-word pricing starting at $0.10.
