Why Ce'M Forward
As Founder of Ce’M Forward – The Modern CFO Studio, my mission is simple: to innovate the CFO space.
I believe that every business, no matter its size, deserves access to the insight, systems, and clarity that fuel smart decisions and sustainable growth. With over 20 years of experience — from Big 4 accounting to public company CFO roles — I’ve helped organizations transform their financial foundations, strengthen governance, and prepare for their next big move, whether that’s transformation, expansion, M&A, or capital raising.​
Throughout my career, I’ve led finance transformations where I built systems that turned financial chaos into clarity. My expertise spans US GAAP and SEC reporting, M&A integration, ERP implementations (e.g. NetSuite), and cash flow optimization across industries like healthcare, services, SaaS, and manufacturing. But what truly drives me is problem-solving — taking complex financial challenges and turning them into growth opportunities.
​
What sets my approach apart is how I partner with leadership teams to make finance strategic. I don’t just deliver numbers — I translate them into insights that drive better decisions, stronger margins, and scalable operations. I help teams design finance functions that don’t simply track the past but actively shape the future.
I’d love to explore how Ce’M Forward can help take your company to the next level — bringing the expertise of a seasoned CFO, the flexibility of a modern model, and the passion of a true problem-solver to your team.
