Before becoming the CEO at Jirav, I spent 10 years working in finance, accounting, and tech.I’ve worked as a Controller, Finance Director, and CFO. I helped multiple businesses grow from early startups to established corporations. Both in-house and with outsourced teams. And helped raise over $250 million in funding for clients across the globe.During my time working in diverse environments, I came to realize that financial planning and analysis were outdated and cluttered, causing finance teams to lose a good night’s sleep.There was a clear lack of efficient solutions to simplify important processes like planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting. Existing tools were too expensive and complicated, mostly designed for big enterprises. It was clear to me that smaller and mid-sized businesses needed an easy, intuitive, and data-driven platform for financial planning and analysis (FP&A).Recognizing this gap, I took on the challenge and created Jirav.Jirav is designed to help the very people who run small and mid-sized businesses, including founders, owners, accounting firms, and part-time CFO teams.I'm proud to say that Jirav has already helped thousands of businesses better understand their financial situation, allowing them to make informed decisions. Jirav helps businesses see their financial and operational data clearly. It uses technology to simplify budgeting and forecasting and offers insights they can act on faster.Now finance pros don’t have to worry about losing a good night’s sleep. Jirav frees them up to focus on growth and driving meaningful business outcomes.Anyways…When I'm not at Jirav, I'm a dad to two kids and a fan of Seattle sports teams. I also love outdoor activities like hiking and snowboarding, and you might even catch me discussing financial strategies on a mountain trail!I believe in building strong connections, sharing knowledge, and helping others in their professional journey. As Jirav continues to grow, I'm committed to sharing our experiences with other entrepreneurs and finance professionals.If you resonate with my journey or have an interest in financial planning and analysis, let's talk!
