What do clients say?
“Kyle has been essential in navigating our successful capital raise. He helped us distill a complex plan into a powerful financial model that has resonated with investors and was a huge help working with everyone to get us across the finish line. He’s been a great thought partner, negotiator and has taken charge of running and optimizing our financial processes. It is very difficult to find resources who can operate seamlessly between the US and Mexico, so his support has been indispensable.”

“Kyle has been invaluable in creating data-driven tools to monitor and optimize our cash flow, accounts payable, sales goals and much more. He is proactively managing our risks and takes an ownership perspective in our business. It is vitally important to us that our whole team is committed to sustainable values and goals, so having a CFO who aligns with us so well is critical. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a Fractional or Interim CFO in the Climate Space!”

“I really appreciated working together on our first investor-ready financial model. Kyle brought strong structure and discipline to the model while keeping it practical and investor-focused. I especially valued how he pressure-tested the capital strategy and simplified complex areas without losing rigor, it materially strengthened the story for the raise.”
“We appreciate all of Kyle’s hard work and quality output. For a major potential LP, he took on a huge task which enabled us to deliver a proposal in a timely fashion. The financial modeling for us, and CFO-work for the portfolio companies helped us manage the multiple outputs we are managing. Certainly, the companies really valued his direct support.”
