Fractional CFO for Funds & Startups
Institutionally trained, hands-on, and AI-enabled. I build, fix, and scale finance functions for investment funds, startups, and PE portfolio companies — from fund launch and first hire through audits, capital raises, and institutional scale.
AI-Enabled Finance
Modern finance, built by the CFO in the seat. I don’t just recommend automation — I build it. My AI-powered platform and tools handle invoice processing, settlement calculations, and journal entries, so your finance function scales without adding headcount. One law firm’s settlement processing went from 3 weeks to 3 days. Interested in the platform for your own team? Use the contact form below to request a demo.
