“I had the privilege of working under Matt during his time as Sr. Director of Treasury at Toast, and I can't speak highly enough about his leadership, integrity, and strategic vision. Matt brought a rare blend of deep technical expertise and big-picture thinking. Whether he was implementing systems and processes to lay a foundation for the Treasury team, strengthening banking relationships, or designing scalable cash management structures, he consistently led with clarity and purpose. He set a high bar for excellence while always making time to support the growth and development of those around him. What stood out most to me was Matt’s calm, thoughtful leadership style. In fast-moving or ambiguous situations, he remained steady and solutions-oriented, empowering the team while also challenging us to think critically and push our work to the next level. I learned a tremendous amount under his guidance and genuinely appreciated the trust he placed in me as I took on more responsibility. Any organization would be lucky to have Matt at the helm of their treasury or finance function. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him and hope our paths cross again.”

Oncount
“No accounting” isn’t freedom. It’s operational risk. Lead: Founders don’t lose control in audits — they lose it in day-to-day gaps. • Cash clarity: bank, orders and ledger reconciled daily • Evidence on file: TRN-compliant invoices and movement docs, searchable • Tax discipline: filing calendar and ownership to avoid penalties • Decision layer: live margin and working-capital view We implement policy, integrations, and routines so operations stay audit-ready. 🔗 Book a review via the link on our company page.

The ruling from the the National Bank case is clear: CFOs are required to "scrutinize data strategically," not just record transactions and file returns. When you hire an accountant but need a CFO or CFC, you get compliance without strategy. Which is like having a map with no compass. Accountant = Historian CFO/ CFC = Strategic Navigator We can help your business perform a Strategic scrutiny check using our Fractional CFC Service.

Quadient Financial Automation
Most finance teams don’t break because of strategy. They break because workflows don’t scale as volume and complexity increase. Backlogs. Approval chasing. Vendor data inconsistencies. Fraud blind spots. If transaction volume increases tomorrow, would your AP & AR processes hold, or stall?
