Areas of engagement

Fractional & Interim CFO
Senior financial stewardship without permanent headcount. Fully integrated CFO leadership — driving strategy, owning investor and lender relationships, and leading financial operations through critical transitions, gaps, and high-growth periods.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Comprehensive buy-side and sell-side advisory rooted in decades of hands-on deal execution. Pipeline development, due diligence, valuation modeling, deal structuring, negotiation, close, and post-acquisition integration.
Capital Strategy & Structure
Optimize leverage, negotiate credit facilities, establish capital allocation frameworks, and manage sponsor and lender relationships to maximize financial flexibility and sustained free cash flow generation.
Finance Transformation
Design and implement the FP&A infrastructure, reporting architecture, and organizational structure that allows finance to lead — not lag — business performance. From hiring senior leaders to building the cadences that drive accountability.
Exit & Transaction Readiness
Prepare your business to command a premium at sale or recapitalization — financial packaging, quality of earnings support, management presentation preparation, and sponsor alignment on value creation narrative and timing.
