About

A technology and automation focused CPA specialized in high volume O2C and ASC 606 revenue recognition, accounting, and reporting. Advise finance teams around technical accounting and automation - such as Cursor, Meta, Strava, and many others. I help SaaS and AI finance teams turn messy and usage data into clean, automated revenue reporting that actually matches how the business runs. If you’re a CFO, Controller, or Revenue Accounting lead, you’ve probably felt this pain: -12 different “sources of truth” for revenue and ARR -Usage, Billing, and CRM data that never quite ties out -Auditors asking ASC 606 questions your systems can’t answer I’ve sat on every side of that problem: -Big 4 and SOX / IPO readiness (KPMG) -In-house “full-stack finance” at high-growth startups -Director / Head of Product Experience for rev rec & O2C automation platforms (Leapfin, HubiFi) Now my work focuses on: -Rev rec and O2C automation for high-volume, PLG/self-serve, and usage-based models (Stripe, Apple App Store, GooglePlay Store, Paypal, Adyen, etc.) -Usage, and billing data design so AI, FP&A, and auditors can rely on it -Translating ASC 606 into systems, reporting, and journal entries your team can actually maintain On this profile, my posts are mainly for: -SaaS and AI CFOs, Controllers, and Revenue Accounting leaders who want clean, contextual revenue data -Accounting leaders building PLG / usage-based models -Finance teams trying to make AI useful without blowing up compliance Expect: -Tactical breakdowns of gnarly revenue problems -“In the trenches” stories from implementations with companies like Cursor, Perplexity, Strava, and others -"Occasional" memes about the pain of closing the books when Stripe is a dumpster fire If you: -Own revenue, O2C, or Stripe data -Are planning PLG / usage-based pricing -Or are trying to apply AI to finance data
