The person you work with

I’m Ray.
I’m your CFO.

I bring decades in technology, experience as a global CFO and a hands-on approach to improving how finance works.

Deep industry knowledge and a data-driven approach inform the advice I give and the work I do alongside you. I understand the realities of MSP, VAR, SaaS and ISV businesses, from their operating economics to the choices that determine how they grow.

For a founder, business decisions are often personal decisions too. My role is to bring a clear financial perspective, sound judgment and follow-through to the choices in front of you.

Experience brought to your business

01 / FINANCIAL LEADERSHIP

A global CFO perspective.

The experience to see the wider picture and the attention to understand what it means for your business, your team and your next decision.

02 / CAPITAL & GROWTH

An experienced fundraiser.

I have led fundraising efforts for startups and new initiatives in growth-focused businesses, supporting the financial thinking and preparation behind the process.

03 / FINANCE & TECHNOLOGY

Hands-on operating capability.

Financial strategy, process improvement and the ability to build supporting agents and workflows, then help the team adopt them.

A note on how I work

Good advice needs
someone to carry it through.

I stay connected to the people, information and processes that turn financial decisions into day-to-day progress.

That can mean working with a controller, preparing for an investor conversation, untangling a close process or helping a leadership team understand its choices. The work is shaped by what your business needs.
