I design the financial and operational infrastructure that lets leadership stop firefighting and start deciding — full-cycle accounting, audit-ready controls, and the systems that quietly free up everyone's time.
Most finance hires keep the lights on. I build the wiring behind the wall — the close process, the controls, the documentation — so the numbers on the dashboard can actually be trusted. That's been the throughline across 14+ years: controllership and operations management, wherever the work has taken me.
As Junior Controller at Novanni Stainless, that meant owning the general ledger, month-end close, and bank reconciliations at 99% accuracy — and coordinating external audits that closed with zero major findings. At Convergence Blended Finance, it meant rebuilding financial controls and reporting structures until close stopped being a fire drill. At Canyon Entertainment Group, it meant standing up an entire People Operations function from a blank page so the CEO never had to think about it again.
Now, as Controller at Otterz, an AI-native accounting firm, it means owning a portfolio of client files while reviewing 45 more across a five-accountant team — applying the same controllership discipline at a larger scale, with AI-driven workflows built in from the start.
Beyond the numbers — the trackers, processes, and people systems built to keep a finance team running without friction.
A working history of standing up financial infrastructure, fixing what was broken, and shipping audits with zero major findings.
The platforms and disciplines that keep the engine running — every switch flipped on through 14+ years of use.
