When a founder sends me their financial model, I already know the three questions their investors will ask, because I spent years reviewing deals from the investor side as a fund fiduciary. That perspective separates my work from everyone else in your inbox.
I wrote 10 books on this. Literally. My Amazon series, A Founder's Conversations with a Fractional CFO, covers every financial decision a founder faces: CFO Versus Accountant, Pitch Decks, 409A Valuations, Financial Modeling, Business Plans, KPIs and Dashboards, Private Company Stock Options, Fundraising Mechanics, Real Estate Financial Modeling, and SBA Loans.
WHAT I DELIVER:
