Real Financial Planning
for companies that are done winging it.
Fractional CFO and FP&A advisory. The forecasts, models, and reporting your business needs to stop reacting and start deciding.
You built the business.
You shouldn’t have to be the CFO too.
You're making capital decisions, managing cash, and fielding investor questions — on top of everything else.
Blank Capital gives scaling companies a dedicated finance partner so you can get back to running your company.
Our Process
We talk.
A 30-minute call to understand your business, where you are financially, and how we can help.
We scope it.
Based on what you actually need - maybe it’s a fundraising model, maybe it’s a monthly close process, maybe it’s all of it - we define a clear engagement with clear deliverables.
You get a finance partner.
We become a trusted and strategic partner who runs your financial planning, reporting, and analysis like it’s their own.

Meet the Founder
I spent years running FP&A for a $1.6 billion business unit at a Fortune 100 company, where I directed the full cycle of forecasting, planning, close, and reporting for senior leadership across business stakeholders.
Before that, I managed $200M+ program portfolios, built cash flow models for defense contract proposals, automated financial processes that saved 100+ hours per monthly close, and led system implementations at various public companies — including Hyperion/TM1 rollouts, rolling forecast design, and M&A due diligence modeling.
I started Blank Capital because I kept seeing the same thing: growing companies making high-stakes decisions with financial infrastructure that couldn't keep up.
The planning discipline I built at a Fortune 100 shouldn't be reserved for companies with billion-dollar budgets.
I know how to bring you the strategic financial planning of a corporate finance department without bogging down your lean operations in unnecessary bureaucracy.
No long-term contracts. No bloated retainers. Just the work your business actually needs.
