The Finance Team
Founders Deserve
We've closed the deals. Raised the rounds. Navigated the exits. Now we're here to help you do the same — with battle-tested financial strategy built for startups that move fast.

Founder & CEO
"I watched too many brilliant founders lose deals they should have won — not because of bad products, but because of messy financials."
That frustrated me. These were founders building incredible companies, solving real problems. But when it came time to raise, they'd scramble to put together models, projections, and data rooms that didn't reflect the quality of what they'd built.
So I built Zenith. A team of operators who've sat in your seat — negotiating term sheets, managing burn, preparing for due diligence. We're not here to give you generic templates. We're here to build the financial foundation that helps you win.

How We Work
Five principles that guide everything we do for founders.
Founder First
Your goals drive everything. We build financial strategies that help you raise capital, extend runway, and make confident decisions.
Clear Over Clever
No jargon, no fluff. Just straightforward financial answers you can act on today.
Fast Execution
We work in days, not weeks. When you need financials ready for investors, we deliver.
Ownership Mindset
We treat your financials like our own. Every model, every report, every decision matters.
Built for Growth
Every analysis we create helps you make decisions that move your business forward.
Our Mission
To give every ambitious founder access to the same financial firepower that helped unicorns become unicorns — without the enterprise price tag.
The Team
Operators, strategists, and finance experts who've been in the trenches.
