Built and scaled an outsourced CFO firm. Then built Clockwork. Bootstrapped four years before raising venture. Coach founders, finance leaders, and accountants building their own advisory practice. Most of the time, you're stuck on something I've already lived through.
Intuit Connect 2025 · Founder of Clockwork.ai
I started at Boeing in FP&A. Walked out at 27 because the bell curve told me what I was worth and I didn't agree. Spent the next stretch building an outsourced CFO firm from one client to a real team, working in the trenches of dozens of growing companies.
That's the work that taught me everything. Then I started Clockwork. Bootstrapped four years before raising venture from G20 Ventures, Underscore VC, Alumni Ventures, and Service Provider Capital. Built Mira, the first agentic AI for FP&A. Thousands of finance teams use it. Lost almost a hundred pounds in the middle of all of it because none of the rest matters if you're not still here for it.
I've hired the wrong people. Trusted the wrong people. Said the wrong yes. Said the wrong no. Killed a deal that should've closed. Closed a deal that should've died. If you're a founder, a finance leader, or an accountant trying to turn compliance work into a real advisory practice, there's a real chance you're stuck on something I've already been stuck on. Talk to me about it.
Different industries, different sizes, same three conversations. If one of these sounds like your week, we should talk.
You're the one they call before they hire, before they buy, before they sign. Then you bill them for the close. Firms come to me when they're done doing that and can't get the new number out of their mouth.
A partnership. A raise. A big logo. A co-founder. It fixes this quarter and costs you the next three years, and everybody around you is already celebrating. I've signed that deal. I'll read the terms with you before you do.
Runway's wrong. Margin's wrong. The board deck says one thing, your gut says another, and you can't prove which one to believe. We open the file together. Usually the number isn't broken. What's feeding it is.
I don't publish client names or numbers. The people I work with would rather not advertise what they were stuck on, and I'd rather keep it that way. Get me on a call and I'll tell you what happened, minus the names.
I don't run a coaching company. I am the coaching company. You book a call, you get me. No assistant, no sales rep, no junior. If we end up on Zoom, it's because I read your message and thought I could help.
You have one decision keeping you up. A hire. A firing. A pricing change. A raise. A client. A partner. We get on the call. I tell you what I actually think. You leave with a real answer.
You don't need one answer. You need the whole picture. Two hours of me and you opening the hood on the numbers, the team, the offer that hasn't worked, and the story you've been telling yourself about the business.
For founders and advisory firm owners who don't need a session. They need a partner. Two working calls a month, plus you can text me when the building catches fire. Three month minimum, because anything less is theater.

That's the move I made. Compliance to advisory. One client to a real team. Most of what trips people up is the same five problems, and I've walked through every one of them. The Partnership tier is built for this.
I talked about this gap on stage at Intuit Connect. Clients want forward looking guidance and CFO level judgment, and most firms are still handing them a rear view mirror. Every accountant I know trying to close that gap is stuck on one of five things. I've been stuck on all five. Here they are, no charge.
The long version. What each one looks like from the inside, and what I did about mine.
No sequence. No funnel. No webinar at the end of it. If you want to talk after you read it, you know where to find me.
Stories I should've told a long time ago. No script. No filter. No corporate answer to a human problem.
Conversations about founders, accountants, identity, ambition, burnout, and the loneliness nobody warns you about. Some episodes are interviews. Some are just me and the mic. If you've ever needed to hear somebody say "yeah, me too," the show is for you.
The name is a nod to Eminem. The mission is the same. Say the things everybody's thinking but nobody will say out loud.
I read every message that comes in. There's no funnel. There's no team. There's no assistant. Just write me. If we should talk, I'll write back within 24 hours.
