Finance you can run the company on

Fractional FP&A for growth-stage tech teams. Clear forecasts, useful board reporting, and finance workflows that hold up when the business changes.

At Circle, I helped bring GTM forecasts within 5%. At Ridgeline, I led finance and data analytics through a $100M Series B. I now lead FP&A at Deepwatch. I bring that operating experience to teams that need a forecast they can trust and reporting they can act on.

Where I help

Fractional FP&A leadershipOwn the planning rhythm, work with functional leaders, and turn operating decisions into a usable financial plan.
Forecasting and board reportingBuild integrated forecasts, explain what changed, and prepare concise board, executive, and lender materials.
Fundraise supportGet the model, assumptions, scenarios, and finance narrative ready for investor and leadership scrutiny.
Finance systems and automationMake recurring analysis and reporting more repeatable, with clear ownership, checks, and approval points.

The difference

I'm an FP&A leader who builds controlled finance workflows. The model needs to add up, but it also needs to show where each number came from, what is still a draft, and who has signed off.

In practice · Butler Finance

Butler Finance is a prototype I am building to put that approach into software. It brings departmental models and actuals into plan-versus-actual review, helps prepare reforecast drafts, and assembles executive and board reporting. Calculation stays separate from interpretation; changes and reporting pass through human review.

It is an example of how I design a finance workflow, not a client deployment or a product with claimed customer traction. I can walk through a sanitized example of the approach.

Experience

I am Senior Director of FP&A at Deepwatch. Earlier roles span Circle, Ridgeline, Shift, Google, Amazon, and Amex GBT. My work has included integrated forecasting, workforce planning, executive and board reporting, and the finance side of Ridgeline's $100M Series B. I hold an MBA from Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business.
