Gun for hire

A special project.
A senior director to solve it.

Day-rate work, for the moments where a senior, independent hand changes the outcome.

Where I help

The situations
I’m called in for.

Eight of the moments where it makes a difference.

01

Structuring and negotiating a joint venture

You’re going into business with someone — a brand-new venture, or carving an arm off an existing business to run with a partner. I structure the deal, negotiate the terms, and forecast how the partnership will actually perform before you sign.

02

Corporate-grade financial insight, without the overhead

You want proper forecasting and a simple way to watch performance — split by location, by service or product line, and by individual staff — so you can see what’s working, what isn’t, and the specific moves that lift profit and the value of the business.

03

Senior deal bandwidth for funds and family offices

You’re a fund or family office working an acquisition pipeline and you’re short on senior bandwidth. I plug in for a defined stretch to help get the deals done — alongside your existing team, not over the top of it — then step back out when the pipeline’s clear.

04

Getting ready to raise capital

You need a model and a story that survive an investor’s scrutiny, and a structure that brings the money in without giving away the business.

05

Preparing a business to sell

You’re a couple of years from exit and want to know what the business is worth today, what it could be worth, and the handful of moves that close the gap before you go to market.

06

An independent read on a deal or big decision

You’re a board or owner facing a transaction or a major capital call, and you want analysis with no internal politics and no one’s commission riding on the answer.

07

Underwriting an acquisition before the money goes out

You’re buying something and need the diligence done properly — is the cash flow durable, where’s the real risk, what’s the downside — before you commit capital.

08

Restructures, turnarounds and complex one-offs

Something doesn’t fit a template — a restructure, a distressed patch, a shareholder split, a messy carve-out — and you want a calm, senior hand to work the problem.

If it involves a number, a deal, or a decision that matters, it’s worth asking.

What are you
trying to solve?

One conversation. No obligation, and no pitch attached to the answer.
