Founder
Dave is the founder of Lateralus Financial Consulting and a seasoned finance pro with over 13 years of experience helping businesses make sense of their numbers. He’s worked with companies of all shapes and sizes—from startups to established firms—guiding them through growth, turnarounds, and everything in between.
Dave's not your typical accountant. He’s big on strategy, loves solving complex problems, and has a knack for making financials actually make sense. When he’s not deep in spreadsheets or building financial models, you’ll probably find him hanging out with his shy rescue pup, Lima, or diving into his next creative project.
He started Lateralus to offer practical, on-demand financial leadership to businesses that want clarity, confidence, and a trusted partner in their corner.
