Twelve senior
practitioners.
A partnership of senior practitioners, never a pyramid. The person on the call is the person on the engagement.
We didn't want to build the biggest firm in our category. We wanted to build the most senior one.
The partnership.
Eleanor Hayes
Eleven years in financial advisory before founding ACME. Eleanor has led more than 40 fractional CFO engagements across SaaS, services, and industrial. Her work focuses on company building — taking a company from founder-and-spreadsheet to institutional-grade finance without breaking what already works.
Marcus Chen
Twelve years in transaction advisory, the last seven as a partner. Marcus has supported more than $1B of M&A activity and is the lead partner on ACME's quality-of-earnings and integration practice. He spent the early part of his career at a Big Four practice and the later part in operating roles at two acquirers.
Sofia Almeida
A chartered financial analyst with deep experience in private-company valuation, M&A modeling, and fairness opinions. Sofia leads ACME's valuation practice and is the lead on most of the firm's litigation-support and expert-witness work.
Daniel Okafor
Daniel built ACME's tax practice from a single engagement into a four-person team. His work focuses on multi-jurisdictional tax structuring, R&D credits, and the intersection of entity design with operating reality. He is a frequent speaker on equity compensation and QSBS planning.
Senior practitioners.
Priya Raghavan
Priya leads ACME's close-acceleration and operational-finance work. Before ACME she was a controller at a 600-person industrial company, where she took the close from 18 days to 4. She is the firm's resident expert on cost-center design and COGS visibility.
Tom Whitaker
Tom runs the firm's day-to-day FP&A engagements. He has built more than 30 financial models for venture-backed companies and is the partner most often embedded alongside a controller for the first 90 days of a new engagement.
Lin Asplund
Lin joined ACME from a mid-tier tax practice where she specialized in cross-border structuring for SaaS and professional services firms. She leads the firm's international tax work and is the partner on most engagements involving founder relocations.
Rashid Mansour
Rashid leads the firm's quality-of-earnings and transaction-services practice. He spent eight years in transaction advisory at a Big Four firm before joining ACME, and is the partner most often on the ground during a deal close.
The bench.
Kim Calderon
Kim is a senior associate on the FP&A team. She is the lead analyst on most of the firm's revenue recognition and audit-prep work, and is the person who most often builds the model the partner will then pressure-test.
Niko Vasquez
Niko is a senior associate on the transactions team. He is the lead analyst on most of the firm's QofE and working capital work, and is the person who most often turns the data room into the model the partner will then sanity-check.
