35 years of making finance make sense
I've spent my career helping business owners understand their numbers, structure their financing, and make confident decisions about growth, cash flow, and the future of their companies. This site is where I share what I've learned.

I'm a CFO and financial advisor who has spent over 35 years helping businesses and their owners manage the financial side of their companies. My career started in international banking with UBS, managing Fortune 500 lending relationships from Chicago and New York. I've since worked as a full-time CFO—growing one company from $7 million to $67 million in revenue—and as a fractional CFO advising businesses across a range of industries.
I was born and raised in South America and am fluent in English and Spanish. I hold an MBA in Finance from the University of Chicago and a BS in Finance from Brigham Young University.
Today I'm a Partner at Redstone Business Consulting Group, where I advise entrepreneurs on cash flow, growth, financing, and exit planning. My sweet spot is working with businesses in the $5M to $75M revenue range.
I built this site because I believe the best way to help business owners is to share useful knowledge freely. If it's helpful, I've done my job. If you'd like to talk, I'm easy to reach.
