Passionate About Inspiring Others

As Founder and sole member of Nittany Strategic Solutions LLC, I am accomplished at identifying and implementing strategies that result in necessary and lasting change to guide my clients as they rise to new heights. My over 30+ years of experience provides a unique background to carefully analyze a business and develop a clear and concise strategy to increase cash flow, profits and related enterprise value.

I have managed all aspects of finance, accounting and IT functions, including mentoring the staff to improve the accuracy, timeliness and understanding of a business's financial information. Prior to forming Nittany Strategic Solutions LLC, I was a Partner with a leading national management consulting firm for over eight years. In this capacity, I served as a trusted business advisor improving the lives of business owners throughout central PA by providing strategic CFO advice.

My experience as a CFO extends to nearly every aspect of a business's financial needs. I have helped

companies forecast cash flow, restructure debt, secure new capital, renegotiate bank covenants,

reduce receivables, reschedule payables, improve gross margins, refine month-end closing procedures and efficiency, and improve the accuracy and timeliness of financial reports, just to name a few.

During my corporate career as a CFO and as a trusted business advisor, I have been extensively involved in over 50 merger & acquisition transactions. My M&A experience includes the following:

Forming a success team (Tax CPA, Transaction Attorney, Investment Banker/Broker and others) and preparing a company for sale through advanced due diligence planning
Developing an exit strategy to maximize returns based on goals of business owners
Guiding companies to rise to new heights to maximize cash flow, earnings and related enterprise value
Coordinating the actual due diligence phases
Financial modeling of potential acquisitions or sales
Securing the financing - both debt and equity
Working closely with the business owners and their M&A teams on the purchase and sale agreement review
Operational integration post acquisition to minimize costs
