How I Help

Fractional & Embedded CFO Leadership

Strategic Planning & Operational Support

Fractional & Embedded CFO Leadership

Calm, experienced financial leadership for owners navigating growth, complexity, and higher-stakes decisions. I help you see what matters, plan ahead under real constraints, and make decisions with confidence. 

Accounting & Financial Systems

Strategic Planning & Operational Support

Fractional & Embedded CFO Leadership

Clean books, structured workflows, and financial systems you can actually trust — built to support growth. 


This is the foundation that makes forecasting, strategy, and decision-making possible. 

Strategic Planning & Operational Support

Strategic Planning & Operational Support

Strategic Planning & Operational Support

Focused planning, pricing, and margin work during moments of growth or change — layered on top of steady financial leadership. 


No theory. Just practical tools that support real-world decisions. 

Finance support built for real operators.

I spent more than a decade helping build and grow Denver Beer Company through expansion, brand growth, busy seasons, and the day-to-day realities of running a fast-moving business. 


Along the way, I saw what works, what breaks, and how quickly decision-making degrades when numbers lag behind the business or systems don’t keep up.


I started Crafted Ledgers to bring calm, clear financial leadership to owners who want to move from reactive to confident as their businesses grow more complex.

When Businesses Grow, Finance Breaks First

As businesses grow, decisions get bigger, and timing matters more.


But financial systems often stay built for an earlier, simpler version of the business.


Numbers start lagging behind reality.
Small issues get explained away.
Capacity gets committed before there’s real clarity.


Owners feel it first as hesitation. Then as second-guessing.
Not because they lack instincts, but because the information they’re relying on arrives too late or doesn’t tell the full story.


That’s when growth starts to feel heavier than it should.
