What I Do
I help companies design scalable, accurate, and predictable finance operations — including faster month-end close, ERP workflow optimization, and clean financial reporting.
​
Most companies don’t lack hard-working teams — they lack clear processes, aligned responsibilities, and clean systems.
I design the finance operations that make everything work.
How I Can Help
DAOS™
Framework
The DAOS™ Framework is a structured methodology used to diagnose issues, align teams, optimize processes, and systemize operations into ERP/BI — ensuring consistency and scalability across the finance function.
D
Diagnose
Identify issues with processes, reports, systems, and communication
O
Optimize
Map processes, set standards, fix risks, and streamline data flow
A
Align
Clarify responsibilities, due dates, and cross-department execution
S
Systemize

I don’t fix symptoms. I build systems that prevent the same problem from coming back.
-
Process first, system second, people aligned always
-
Finance operations must be scalable and predictable
-
Consistency beats speed — alignment beats heroics
