What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead accounting and finance for a growth-oriented, multi-entity consumer or manufacturing business where I can improve systems, profitability, cash planning, and operational decision-making.

I'm leading accounting for BASED Bodyworks' $180M manufacturing and DTC operation, strengthening standard costing, cash-flow planning, inventory tracking, and revenue-recognition automation. Previously, I directed FP&A and controllership across five entities at Ardmore Home Design and reduced manual expense-review time by 50% through SAP Concur.

At Hurley International, I managed close, consolidated reporting, budgeting, systems integrations, and M&A onboarding for acquired brands including Bebe, Scotch & Soda, and Castells. Across PE-backed consumer, apparel, and manufacturing businesses, I've progressed from Staff Accountant to Controller and Director roles by improving margins, working capital, reporting, and operating discipline.
