I'm the Founder, Managing Partner and Chief Numbers Nerd at AscendantVG, a boutique Construction Accounting and Fractional CFO shop with offices in the USA and Mexico. In addition to my own clients, which I serve on a daily basis, I manage and oversee the work of a small and talented staff of Accountants, Controllers and CFOs, all former Big Four. In addition to financial, management (cost) and tax accounting, AscendantVG offers a wide variety of related, outsourced back office services to our clients including HR, IT and legal department support.

While at PwC I oversaw the construction accounting for large, international clients such as WeWork, Exxon-Mobil, Nissan, Bombardier and Diageo. As a result of these relationships and others, I'm one of a handful of guys worldwide who has overseen, audited or otherwise been involved in the construction accounting of multiple mega-projects (projects with development budgets in excess of $1 billion USD...and, yes, that's billion...with a "b"). A LearJet factory (ACT $1.1B USD, Queretaro, Mexico). A Nissan factory (ACT $2.0B USD, Aguascalientes, Mexico). And perhaps the most complicated ever: the budgeting, cost estimating and feasibility analysis of constructing both the upstream and downstream oil and gas infrastructure anticipated within the Pemex/Exxon-Mobil Joint Venture Agreement of 2014 (EST $8.0B USD, various sties in Mexico).And, at budgets more down to earth, multiple public works projects (both USA and Mexico, including roads, bridges, airport improvements, lift stations and processing plants, many with certified payroll and other requirements), multi-floor high rise tenant improvements (including multiple build outs for WeWork in Mexico), restaurant build outs and remodels (including, fun fact, two Michelin starred restaurants), residential subdivisions and homes (both USA and Mexico, including hundreds of production and semi-custom homes and dozens of custom homes and high rise condominiums with construction budgets north of $1 million USD, and several north of $5 million USD), refits, condominium conversions, residential design build remodels, flips and, lastly, commercial, industrial and retail build to suits.I retired from PwC in 2016 and have since led AscendantVG, serving as Fractional CFO to a short list of General Contractors, Homebuilders and Remodelers, helping each of them professionalize their back offices, grow their businesses and - most importantly - empowering each of them to pursue their passion profitably.
