Expertise

Eight disciplines, one foundation.

The CPA and controllership years come first on purpose. They are what make the analytics, systems, and AI work trustworthy.

01

Accounting & Controllership

The foundation everything else is built on.

A CPA and former Assistant Controller who has owned the close, the controls, and the audit. Comfortable in complex accounting questions — and in the room with auditors while they are asked.

  • Revenue recognition
  • Lease accounting
  • Fixed assets & capitalization
  • Accrual accounting
  • General ledger
  • Month-end & year-end close
  • Internal controls
  • Accounting policies
  • Financial statement analysis
  • Accounting operations
02

Strategic Finance & FP&A

Plans that start from how the business actually earns.

Budgets, forecasts, and long-range plans built on operating drivers and reconciled to the ledger, so leadership can trust the variance explanations as much as the targets.

  • Long-range planning
  • Scenario analysis
  • Financial modeling
  • Variance analysis
  • Management & board reporting
  • Executive decision support
03

  • Automation
  • Data integration
  • ERP transformation
  • Spreadsheet reduction
  • Management-information architecture
04

Financial Systems & ERP

Led an organization-wide accounting system conversion. Understands chart-of-accounts and dimension design well enough to get reporting right at the source rather than repairing it downstream.

  • ERP migration
  • Financial reporting architecture
  • Chart of accounts & dimensions
  • General ledger structures
  • Accounting data integration
  • Financial-reporting automation
05

Business Intelligence & Analytics

Dashboards that tie out.

  • SQL
  • Dashboard design
  • Financial analytics
  • Operational analytics
  • Data visualization

Connecting demand, price, and the plan.

  • Pricing analysis
  • Dynamic pricing concepts
  • Yield management
  • Demand analysis
  • Attendance forecasting
  • Revenue optimization
  • Product & ticket strategy
07

AI & Finance Automation

Applied with the controls still on.

Uses AI to accelerate analysis, reporting, and development of finance tools — with human review, reconciliation, and governance designed in from the start.

  • AI-assisted FP&A
  • AI financial analysis
  • Automated management reporting
  • AI-assisted forecasting
  • LLM workflows
  • AI agents
  • n8n workflows

08

Executive Decision Support

Accounting + financial + operational + market data → a recommendation.

Translating the ledger and the operating data around it into a clear view of what happened, why, and what leadership should do next.

  • Performance narratives
  • Driver-based explanations
  • Capital allocation analysis
  • Scenario recommendations
  • Board-level reporting

Executive decision support

From four kinds of data to one recommendation.

Most performance questions cannot be answered from the ledger alone — or from operating data alone. The value is in joining them, reconciling them, and saying plainly what they mean.

How data sources combine into a recommendation
SourceAnswers
AccountingWhat happened — reconciled, closed, auditable.
FinancialHow it compares — to budget, forecast, and prior year.
OperationalWhy it happened — attendance, labor, mix, throughput.
MarketWhat is changing outside — demand, pricing, seasonality.
RecommendationWhat leadership should do next — and how confident to be.
