Turning a transformation vision into actionable finance.
Financial Transformation & Performance Management
Confidential client · Large, multi-business organization
Chris’s role: Financial Transformation Advisor / Business Analyst
The challenge: A clear vision for decentralized finance, but no underlying roadmap, standardized processes or reporting infrastructure to make it work.
The approach: Chris translated the vision into standardized financial and KPI reporting, enhanced OPEX planning, a rolling forecast and live executive dashboards. Service models across four distinct business models supported productivity and performance analysis.
The result: An operational reporting and planning framework, including a major business segment’s first operational reporting framework, stronger forecasting capabilities and scalable financial and operational visibility for leadership.

Strategic Planning & Business Case Development
Confidential client · Large residential community organization
Chris’s role: Strategic & Financial Advisor
The challenge: A communications network serving approximately 13,000 homes faced changing viewing habits and rising costs. Leadership needed to evaluate competing service models and alternatives involving a potential $20–25 million investment.
The approach: As an advisor, Chris developed a business case comparing the status quo with alternative provider, infrastructure and acquisition options. Scenario models assessed capital needs, operating costs, revenues and resident economics, with explicit assumptions, sensitivities and risks.
The result: A structured decision framework and executive summary gave management committees and boards a common fact base to evaluate long-term financial, operational and strategic trade-offs.
