I started SmartScale because I kept seeing the same thing: capable owners making six-figure decisions with three-figure information. Not because they didn't care — because financial reporting was late, confusing, or just backward-looking.
My background is 15+ years of corporate FP&A — including at Accenture, the global professional-services firm — doing the annual budgets, monthly close, forecasting, and board-level reporting that add up to real CFO work. What makes me different is the decade of teaching math woven through those same years: I know how to take something that looks intimidating and make it click.
So I don't hand you a forecast and walk away. I show you what it means, and we decide what to do about it — together.
Work with me15+ years in FP&A — including at Accenture, where utilization, project margin, and billable hours were the business. That is your agency's model, just with more zeros. I have run the version with a hundred consultants on it; running yours is the same math with fewer moving parts.
A decade in the classroom gave me a rare skill: making the confusing clear. You should never nod along in your own financial review. No jargon, and no assuming you already know what "deferred revenue" means.
Budgets, forecasts, cash flow, and the metrics agencies actually run on — client margin, effective rate, utilization. The forward-looking view most bookkeepers never provide.
I left corporate finance on purpose. The big agency-CFO firms are built for $5M+ — SmartScale exists for the shops below that line, who need the same clarity and can't buy it anywhere.
Retainers bill before the work lands. I spent years on aftermarket warranty finance — revenue collected up front and earned over time. It is the same puzzle behind most agency cash surprises.
