Meet the Founder:
Your Outsourced Financial Partner
After 25 years leading finance and operations—from private, self‑funded businesses to $200M publicly traded companies—I’ve gained a clear perspective on what I call the complexity ceiling.
In organizations under $10M, the same pattern appears again and again: growth accelerates, but the finance function remains anchored in outdated processes.
Month‑end close is informal or inconsistent. Financials arrive weeks late. Reporting depends on manual workarounds and heroic effort. And for companies with a board, preparing timely, strategic decks becomes a stressful, labor‑intensive scramble.
You know your finance framework needs a fundamental shift, but adding a full‑time, six‑figure executive isn’t the right move.
Finlayr Framework exists for this exact moment.
I operate as your outsourced financial second‑in‑command—plugging directly into your business to assess your current processes, rebuild the architecture you’re missing, and establish the rigor required for disciplined growth. This isn’t traditional consulting. It’s hands‑on partnership designed to bridge the gap between where you are and where you need to be.
My work brings the structure of a seasoned Controller, COO, and CFO into your organization: forecasting discipline, operational clarity, and board‑ready reporting that supports confident decision‑making. I deliver the benefit of a 25‑year career—spanning production floors, executive boardrooms, and complex financial environments—without the overhead of a full‑time hire.
My purpose is simple: to eliminate the delays, blind spots, and uncertainty that hold back your decision‑making—whether it’s outdated reporting, slow month‑end cycles, or unclear numbers. I build a finance backbone that delivers reliable insight, operational transparency, and the confidence to make decisions at the speed your business demands.
