Every Seat at the Table

Not just an advisor who's reviewed deals.

Scott has sat on every side of the table — as the operating CFO steering a company through its own sale, as the CFO leading a buyer's acquisition and integration, and as the advisor guiding sellers and buyers through deals he wasn't operating inside.

Ran finance through 6 company exits as the operating CFO — over $600M in combined deal value.
02
Operating CFO — Buy-Side
Led the finance function through 3 acquisitions and post-close integration for acquiring companies.
03
Sell-Side Advisor
Guided founders through valuation, positioning, and close on 7 sell-side advisory mandates.
04
Buy-Side / Purchase Advisor
Represented buyers through diligence and negotiation on purchase-side mandates.
