Supercharge your finance team

I deliver hands-on expertise to businesses that want to unlock efficiencies and boost profit 

Common problems faced by businesses in their finance departments

In my experience, these issues are widespread across industries and company sizes.

Manual processes

Despite technological advancements, many businesses still rely heavily on manual processes for their financial operations. Such reliance on manual work leads to inefficiencies, errors and a significant drain on resources.

Resistance to change

Many businesses, especially traditional family-owned ones, suffer from a mindset of "that's the way we've always done it". This functional fixedness results in sticking to outdated processes that are inefficient and costly.

Poor data quality

Financial departments often struggle with organizing and analyzing data. This leads to suboptimal decision-making, increased fraud risk and a lack of actionable insights.

Unmotivated people

Repetitive, manual tasks can be demotivating. Being stuck in a cycle of data entry and account reconciliation can lead to a lack of fulfillment and decreased productivity, even for top employees.

How can I help your business?

I offer the following tailored solutions to enhance your financial operations

Finance department detox

For many businesses, stepping into the modern age of finance can be daunting. I modernize finance departments, striking a balance between respecting legacy processes and introducing AI solutions and innovative SaaS providers.

Startup transition assistance

Founders focus on product-market fit, which often leaves financial matters unattended. When the moment is right, I professionalize fast-growing businesses by implementing best practices and putting appropriate financial processes in place.

Interim CFO assignments

During transformation, restructuring, M&A or preparation for an investment, I can be parachuted in as an interim CFO. My approach is not just about filling a role but adding value through strategic guidance and financial leadership.

About me

My name is Luis Perez and I am an independent financial consultant and interim CFO with a proven track record in corporate finance. I am industry-agnostic, but in the past I have worked mostly in the tech, banking and consumer sectors. 

 

I built an AI-powered tenant screening startup called Properize, which quickly captured a significant market share and was ultimately sold in 2024 to Pararius, the leading rental platform in the Netherlands. I also own and run a document fraud detection service with rapidly growing MRR (see verifyPDF.com).

  • Proven M&A track-record extending over a decade
  • Built and sold a tech business to an industry leader
  • Experience as Interim CFO amidst a reorganization

Away from work, I am passionate about IT, coding in Python, exploring the Linux ecosystem (I use Arch btw) and running my own private cloud infrastructure. I also like woodworking and I play tennis at least 2 times per week.

Luis' expertise was invaluable. His innovative approach not only streamlined our processes but also brought a new level of clarity to our company.
