Finance + Data — Philadelphia, PA

Most consultants speak
finance or data.
I speak both.

Scattered spreadsheets, tools and exports become one clear picture your business can actually run decisions on. Dashboards, models and forecasts for Philadelphia-area businesses — from one person, with no handoff.

The gap between finance and data
is where the answers hide.

Most finance people can read a statement but can’t build the pipeline that feeds it. Most data people can move the data but don’t know which numbers matter to a P&L.

Hand the problem to two specialists and you spend your week translating between them. I sit in both seats — the engineering that makes the data trustworthy, and the judgment to know what it is telling you.

Spots open

Vortex is new. I’m taking on three founding clients.

A reduced rate and my full attention. In return I ask for honest feedback and — only if you are genuinely happy — a short reference down the line. That is the whole deal.

Let’s talk

Tell me what your numbers aren’t telling you.

A 30-minute call, no obligation. If I am not the right fit I will say so and point you somewhere better.
