What We Do

Analytical depth
at every engagement.

FP&A & Reporting
Multi-entity consolidations, driver-based budgeting, rolling reforecasts, and executive dashboards built to communicate clearly and hold up under scrutiny.
Forensic Controls
GAAP compliance reviews, intercompany reconciliation forensics, vendor audit, Benford's Law fraud detection, and systematic gap analysis that finds what others miss.
Automation & Analytics
Python, VBA, and Power BI systems that eliminate manual workflows, surface insight from complex data, and scale with the business rather than against it.
Client Perspectives

Results confirmed
by the people who saw them.

The analysis went well beyond what we had asked for. The freight overbilling finding alone justified the entire engagement, and then some. We now have controls in place we didn't know we were missing.

We brought in Parallax Apogee to build our consolidation model. What we got was a reporting architecture we'd been trying to build for two years. It runs in minutes, not days.

The budget reforecast identified a margin gap our team had missed for two quarters. The commentary framework that came with it changed how we present to the board.

Founder & Principal

The work is forensic by nature. Most FP&A practitioners validate what already exists. The work at Parallax Apogee starts from first principles: questioning the data, tracing the methodology, and finding the number behind the number before any conclusion is reached.

Before finance, a career as a U.S. Army Infantry NCO and combat veteran. The discipline, the pressure-testing of assumptions, and the intolerance for ambiguity in high-stakes environments translated directly. Systematic decision-making under pressure is not a soft skill. It is infrastructure.

CFA Level I Candidate, August 2026. The credential formalizes a framework for investment-grade analytical rigor that applies equally to FP&A, forensic controls, and strategic financial advisory work.
