PE partners and boards don't lose sleep over spreadsheets.
They lose sleep over decisions made on numbers they cannot trust.
Manual reporting and fragmented data don't just slow you down; they directly impact valuations, delay exits, and erode investor confidence.

𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗜 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛
I partner with CFOs and Heads of FP&A at PE-backed companies to global enterprises who need robust financial processes that meet institutional investor standards, delivered within strict transformation timelines. 

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥
20+ years in strategic finance at GE Healthcare, Vodafone, Nielsen, and Unilever taught me what world-class FP&A looks like. Now I build it for others.

• Real-time executive dashboards and investor-ready reporting
