About
I partner with growth-stage companies to build financial foundations that scale. My experience spans IPO preparation, M&A transactions, and Series A through D fundraising. At my last full-time role, I led the finance function through a $2B acquisition. Now I help 2-3 companies at a time navigate their most critical financial decisions. I believe great finance leadership is about enabling growth, not just controlling costs.

Navigated our Series B flawlessly
Michael came in when we were struggling to close our Series B. Within 60 days, he had restructured our financial model, refreshed our data room, and coached me through investor conversations. We closed oversubscribed.

PE-quality CFO at a fraction of the cost
As a PE firm, we have worked with many CFOs. Michael brought institutional-quality financial leadership to our portfolio company at a price point that made sense for their stage. Highly recommend.
