Founder
First

We've been where you are. We understand what it means to operate with finite resources and concentrated priorities. We don't judge the gaps. We've seen what it takes to build a solid financial and corporate foundation. We get to work.

Full Stack
Execution

For a founder, time is the scarcest resource. We work the entire financial and corporate stack so that founders can focus their time on what matters most.

Urgency
as Standard

Urgency is how we operate. We don't spend weeks assessing the situation before doing anything. We move immediately, we work fast, and we compress timelines. Every day counts, whether you're pursuing a raise or building on one. We value time because we know you do.

Accountable
to Outcomes

There's a difference between advice and ownership. We drive every workstream to completion and we stay accountable to our deliverables and the founders we support. We approach our work like a founder does.

Built for what you need.


Retainer

For founders who need ongoing, committed support. A retainer locks in a dedicated number of hours each month, embedding us in your company. Best for founders who need consistent financial and corporate support, month over month.

Hourly

For founders who need more targeted, variable support. An hourly engagement lets you scale work up or down based on need and budget: a single deliverable, a model build, a specific problem solved without a fixed commitment. You get the same ownership and urgency, scoped to exactly what you need.

The right fit depends on where you are and what your company needs. And it may change over the course of the engagement.

Let's talk through it.

I founded Overclock CFO with a perspective most fractional CFOs don't have. I've co-founded a company from the ground up where I served as CFO from inception through early stage growth. I built the books, the model, the cap table, the payroll infrastructure, the corporate governance, and the raise process. We raised over $6M across two seed rounds. I know what that work actually looks like because I did it myself, under the same pressures my clients are facing now.

Before that, I spent five years advising companies on M&A and capital raises, leading execution on nearly $1B in transactions in the healthcare technology and tech-enabled sectors. I sat across from investors on behalf of founders. I know what they're looking for, what kills deals in due diligence, and what a foundation that actually holds up looks like from both sides of the table.

That combination, builder and banker, is what Overclock CFO is built on. I bring a blue-collar work ethic with white-collar experience to every engagement. I get into the work, I own it, and I don't stop until the problem is solved. Founders walk away owning the financial story, backed by a company with the operational credibility to support it.

If your foundation needs work, let's talk.
