Finance tools that do the work.

Models, frameworks, and apps that power daily decisions — SaaS metrics, pricing, ESOPs, and more. Free where it counts, premium where it pays off, and built by operators who've used them in the room.

How we think about strategy.

Every meaningful business decision comes down to two questions.

Where do we play?

The choice — which markets, which products, which customers.

How do we win?

The execution — pricing, channel, capital, talent, timing.

Strategy of Finance covers both. Our conversations explore where the best builders chose to play; our writing, tools, and monthly How to Win newsletter focus on the execution that makes the choice pay off.

Optimist. Builder. Learner.

Investment banker turned unicorn CFO turned founder. I write, podcast, and build tools for finance leaders because I've sat in the seat — and wished this stuff existed when I was in it.

Know someone with a story finance builders should hear?

Refer them — we read every submission personally. No points, no prizes; just the quiet satisfaction of getting a great operator's story to the people who needed to hear it, and our sincere thanks. (Early referrers get first dibs on our paid tools when they launch — a month on us.)
