A fractional controller for your early-stage tech company
I own the close, reporting, forecast, and finance systems for early-stage technology companies. I spent nearly a decade building accounting and finance functions inside VC-backed startups.
Why “high signal”
A high signal means having clear, valuable information with very little waste or noise. Your business throws off a lot data and I'm here to structure it so you understand how to grow.
Services
Fractional controller
I own the monthly close, reporting package, cash forecast, and board-ready financials. You get reliable numbers and a finance partner who already knows the context when a question comes up.
Systems and AI
I design and implement the stack across banking, spend, billing, ledger, and close, using tools such as Ramp, Stripe, Rillet, NetSuite, and QuickBooks. I use automation and AI for repeatable accounting work so more time goes to review, judgment, and decisions.
Projects
I take on bounded work such as cleanup, diligence preparation, system migrations, and getting the function ready for a first finance hire. You leave with clean work, clear documentation, and an operating process your team can keep using.
Why me
I've spent nearly a decade inside VC-backed technology companies, from rapid growth through a $50 million Series B and an acquisition by a Fortune 50 retailer. I built one accounting function in-house from scratch and helped scale another through acquisition. Along the way I owned ERP, billing, forecasting, board reporting, diligence, tax coordination, and the questions founders ask between meetings. In one role, agentic workflows helped a one-person accounting team close two days faster.
How it works
01
Intro call
We spend 30 minutes on the company, the finance work that is getting in the way, and whether I can help; the call is free and requires no prep.
02
Onboarding and diagnostic
During the first month, I review the books, systems, workflows, reporting, and priorities, then turn that review into a practical operating plan.
03
Monthly cadence
I run the close and reporting cadence, meet with you on a set schedule, and stay reachable for finance decisions between meetings.
Fit
A good fit
- Pre-seed through Series B technology companies
- Founder-led teams without a full-time controller
- Books, reporting, or systems that need a clear owner
- Teams willing to improve the finance stack
Not a fit
- Daily on-site accounting needs
- Lowest-cost transaction processing
- Inventory-heavy or highly specialized accounting
- Audit or attest work
Thirty minutes, no prep, and no deck required.
