Commercial banking consultant advising small businesses on cash flow, treasury workflows, and fraud controls.
What I'm looking for
As an Independent Banking Consultant, I advise small businesses and professional services firms on financial performance, cash flow, liquidity, and working-capital strategy. I analyze operating trends and recommend improvements to treasury workflows, approval structures, and fraud controls.
At Peoples Bank, I originated $14MM–$21MM in new commercial loans annually and ranked in the top 10% of commercial lenders for loan production and client satisfaction. I also co-led the bank’s PPP program from launch through closure and SBA audit.
At Wells Fargo, I managed an inherited $80MM+ commercial portfolio across C&I, CRE, treasury, deposit, and FX needs. I maintained risk ratings and covenant compliance, managed workouts, and introduced Treasury Management and FX services to existing clients.
At Heritage Bank, I grew branch deposits from $4.5MM to $42MM through targeted business relationship development. I also wrote a Corporate Business Development Action Plan that was adopted bank-wide as an operational standard.
