Hi, I'm

Tom.

Operations Finance & Small Business Consulting

I spent a decade in operations finance at companies like Fortune Brands and Boston Beer. Now I help small businesses get the same caliber systems and reporting without the enterprise price tag. Dashboards, ERP, forecasting, AI automation — built to actually get used, not collect dust.

About Me

I’ve spent a decade in operations finance — financial reporting at a $3B grocery chain, demand forecasting for Truly Hard Seltzer at Boston Beer, and currently running ops finance for a Fortune Brands manufacturing subsidiary.

I also built an AI assistant on a $0 budget that manages 100+ projects and runs my entire productivity system — on an old computer in my basement. I like figuring out how things work and making them work better.

Now I’m helping small businesses get the same caliber finance systems and AI automation that big companies have, without the big company price tag or complexity.
