Helping businesses navigate strategic & financial decisions
I'm the Founder of Cortlandt - an advisory firm built to help businesses navigate their most consequential decisions. I cut my teeth executing billions of dollars of transactions at Wall Street firms. I left that world to work directly with small & mid-sized businesses. My services break down across two vectors: - Strategic Finance: FP&A, modeling, corporate development / M&A strategy, value creation, and exit readiness - Strategic Advisory: Sell-Side & Buy-Side M&A advisory, small business sales, capital raise advisory, and capital structure advisory (Securities are offered through Finalis Securities LLC Member FINRA / SIPC) I'd be keen to connect with you to see how I can support the needs of your business.
