About William


Bio

Hi, I’m Will! I’m a former Finance Director with over twelve years of experience in FP&A, corporate accounting, and financial modeling. I’ve worked with consulting and life sciences companies managing multimillion-dollar budgets, forecasts, and dashboards used by executives and investors. My goal as a tutor is to take everything I’ve learned in those real-world settings and make finance and accounting feel understandable, practical, and, believe it or not, interesting.

Hi, I’m Will! I’m a former Finance Director with over twelve years of experience in FP&A, corporate accounting, and financial modeling. I’ve worked with consulting and life sciences companies managing multimillion-dollar budgets, forecasts, and dashboards used by executives and investors. My goal as a tutor is to take everything I’ve learned in those real-world settings and make finance and accounting feel understandable, practical, and, believe it or not, interesting.

I tutor accounting, finance, financial modeling, Excel, and QuickBooks. Many of my students are professionals or business owners who want to improve their financial literacy, as well as college students or job seekers preparing for FP&A or accounting roles. Whether we’re walking through financial statements, building a model from scratch, or fixing a QuickBooks file, I tailor every session to your goals and current comfort level.

My teaching style is friendly, patient, and focused on clarity. I like to explain why things work the way they do, not just how. Students tell me they appreciate how I connect concepts to real-world business situations they can actually relate to. Most of my sessions are online for convenience, but I’m happy to meet locally upon request. If you’d like to strengthen your finance skills or prepare for your next big step, I’d love to help you get there.

I have over twelve years of experience in corporate finance and FP&A, including serving as a Finance Director at a consulting firm.

I teach business concepts using real-world examples that help students understand how data drives results.

I have 12+ years of hands-on experience in corporate finance, FP&A, and business valuation. As a Finance Director, I’ve led budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling for multimillion-dollar operations. I help students and professionals understand complex finance concepts (NPV, IRR, capital structure, and performance metrics) through clear, real-world examples. My goal is to make finance logical, practical, and confidence-building for every learner.

With 12+ years of experience managing accounting teams and preparing financial statements, I bring a practical perspective to financial accounting. My background includes leading month-end closes, reconciliations, and audits while ensuring GAAP compliance. I teach accounting fundamentals using examples from real businesses so students see how theory connects to practice.

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel

I’ve used Excel for just about everything, from building reports and financial models to creating dashboards across different businesses and industries. As a Finance Director, I’ve helped teams and professionals make Excel a great everyday tool instead of something confusing or intimidating. I enjoy showing people how to think through formulas, charts, and data in ways that make sense. My lessons are friendly, practical, and focused on helping you understand Excel deeply so you can use it with confidence in any situation.
QuickBooks

I’ve managed QuickBooks for consulting firms and small businesses, overseeing reconciliations, reporting, and monthly closes.

My sessions cover both technical setup and workflow optimization, making bookkeeping simpler and more reliable. I focus on giving students the confidence to manage their financial records independently.
