Founder
Adi is a seasoned finance professional and strategic thinker who partners with CEOs and COOs to take companies to the next level — both in internal processes and interactions with investors.
Adi’s experience spans engagements from fractional CFO for startup companies to a business coach and advisor on finance, strategy, compensation and general HR topics.
Adi has 30 years of experience in finance including roles as an investor in a growth capital fund, a corporate development and strategy executive at a Fortune 500 company, and a CFO and HR leader at several venture-backed companies.
Adi has a AB from Princeton University and an MBA from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.
Adi combines the key skills critical to all great executives: functional expertise, business savvy, strategic thinking, leadership skills, and excellent communication.
Adi gets into the details when it’s needed — with accounting reports and business planning models — and works with leadership and existing in-house and outsourced teams to upgrade process and business thinking. He will shine a strategic lens on the business to help the executive team prioritize their initiatives for the coming quarter or year.

Fractional CFO
Neusha has over 10 years of experience in strategic finance including roles as a VP of Finance and Strategy at a venture-backed SaaS company, an investor at a venture capital fund, and a sell-side deal team member during a public-company acquisition.
Neusha has a BS from the University of Michigan and an MBA from Johns Hopkins Carey Business School.
Neusha is passionate about his clients and leverages his past experiences as an investor and operator to lend a unique perspective on strategic finance, financial planning and streamlined reporting. Recognizing that each client faces distinct circumstances and needs, Neusha relies on his excellent listening skills to understand each business's challenges and optimize for long-term success.
In his free time, Neusha loves traveling with his wife, debating his wife on the best public university (albeit unsuccessfully), Michigan sports, cooking, and fitness. Fun fact — Neusha has walked the circumference of the earth twice since he spent many years working at a treadmill desk.
Testimonials: What Clients Say
“Adi was efficient in his ability to learn about our company and gather the necessary context in order to quickly begin adding value and being effective. He has a great ability to jump into the deepest details on the financials while also being able to zoom out and provide guidance on a strategic level. He has been a fantastic thought partner as we prepare for our next round of fundraising.”
— Kourosh Zamanizadeh, COO, Time by Ping
“Adi brought a strategic approach to updating our financial processes and was responsive to Minibar's needs. He updated our chart of accounts to match those of a modern marketplace business and updated our financial model so that we were able to present a more thoughtful forecast with clear assumptions to our Board and potential investors.”
— Lindsey Andrews, CEO, Minibar
“Adi takes a no nonsense approach to his advisorship. It's a breath of fresh air in the midst of competing priorities and executional complexity, he manages to cut through the noise to help you focus. He's mentored us on board management, business planning, and setting strategic priorities just to name a few. He also participates in our weekly Leadership meetings and his feedback has been invaluable. It's also important to note that Adi is incredibly flexible and focuses on your needs – an important trait when you're constantly being asked to adhere to the needs of other stakeholders.”
— Ahmed Zedan, Co-founder and COO, Haute Hijab
“Adi is a stand up guy who delivered far above what we asked for and expected, and helped us with things we didn’t even know we needed - which is exactly why we needed him. We couldn’t have gotten where we did as a company without him, his expertise, and his advice. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him in the future again or recommend him to anyone requiring Fractional CFO services or looking to get investment/funding or acquired.”
