Former Corporate Finance and M&A Leader turned Entrepreneur.

I now leverage my experience to help business owners grow profitably and exit successfully.

As a Fractional (part-time/virtual) CFO for small businesses, I'm on a mission to bring financial intelligence and hands-on help to small business owners. 


Challenges I help solve:

  ✅ How do I take complexity out of financial decision-making?
  ✅ What is the best way to build a bullet proof business that can withstand tough times?
  ✅ How do I benchmark our performance?
  ✅ What are ways I can increase the value of my company?
  ✅ How can I eventually sell or transition my business?


Who I work with:

   🔹 Owners of service businesses $2M - $20M in revenue
   🔹 Growth-minded entrepreneurs who value collaboration and advice
   🔹 Entrepreneurs who want to spend more of their time doing what they enjoy


Engagements I thrive on:

 🔸 Fractional (Part Time / Virtual) CFO
 🔸 Business Valuation and Value Creation
 🔸 Exit Strategy and Succession Planning
 🔸 M&A Advisory (Proactive Due Diligence Support)


What makes my approach unique:

 🔹 I take servant leadership seriously. 
 🔹 I care about you as much as I do your business
 🔹 I don’t view our work as a one-time project. I want to develop a long-lasting relationship 
 🔹 My M&A experience allows me to help you with an acquisition strategy or prepare for your own exit
