§ 00 · Start here

Pick the operating problem.

Each page now has a discrete job: retained CFO execution, technical accounting cleanup, AI finance infrastructure, transaction proof, and the book library that supports the point of view.

§ 01 · What I do

Four ways in. One operator.

A retained operating seat, a transaction-scoped deal team, the strategic counsel layer above both, and the AI systems that run underneath. All Big-Four-caliber, all AI-native, all scoped in writing before any work begins.

§ 02 · The Counsel

Casper Zhao.

Thirteen years on the side of the table that asks the questions - Big-Four audit, transaction services, and technical accounting. The same playbooks, now AI-native, run for founders and sponsors directly. Deciding what the numbers should be, not just what they are.

§ · Ready when you are

Bring me the number you don't trust.

Thirty minutes, no pitch deck. Tell me what you're working on and where the risk lives — I'll tell you what the work actually looks like for that situation.
