VC backed Startup Advisor

I build systems that make accounting firms grow.

After selling over 5–6M in bookkeeping, accounting, and CFO services, I realized something obvious… firms don’t just need better tools. They need clients, clarity, and a unified operating system.

SeedWorks is the first AI-native OS built for accounting firms, the only platform designed to run your back office and bring you clients at the same time.

My work lives at the intersection of sales architecture, product strategy, and tax-ops experience.

I focus on taking what actually works in the real world and turning it into intelligent, repeatable systems that firms can scale with.

If you're building something in the accounting, tax, AI, or vertical-SaaS space, or you're a founder rethinking how your firm grows, let's connect.

Modern organizations run on a software supply chain that is fragile, opaque, and increasingly dangerous — and far too many leaders are operating under comforting illusions.

I challenge those illusions.

I work with CISOs, security leaders, and engineering executives who are no longer satisfied with the industry’s shallow explanations, vendor gloss, or false sense of security. My approach is simple:

Brutal clarity. Strategic truth. Zero bullshit.

Through Securing the Backbone, I help leaders understand:

Why “secure containers” are only as secure as the application layer

Why SBOMs without curation produce false confidence

Why “shift left” is a myth in enterprise reality

Why dependency sprawl is becoming an existential risk

Why most supply chain attacks succeed long before runtime

Why security is no longer a tooling problem, but a governance problem

CISOs don’t need more dashboards or more noise.
They need better assurance, better visibility, and better control of the code their enterprises depend on.

My mission is to expose the hidden risks in our software backbone — and help security leaders protect what actually matters.

If you want:
✔ blunt truth about supply chain risk
✔ strategic insight you can bring to the board
✔ practical clarity, not marketing fantasy
✔ better outcomes at the base and application layers
✔ or a movement built around securing the modern enterprise

Follow Securing the Backbone and let’s fix the foundation together.
Because the things that matter most deserve to be protected.
