- Prepare monthly personal financial summaries synthesizing progress toward wealth goals and investment performance.
- Build and manage a continuous pipeline of acquisition opportunities across industries, conducting initial screening.
- Develop investment memos summarizing thesis, risks, and recommendations, and build relationships with brokers and seller networks.

- Support deal structuring for tax efficiency and long-term asset protection.
- Construct detailed financial models, including LBOs, working-capital analyses, debt-service structures, and sensitivity cases.
- Assess capital stack options and evaluate post-close cash-flow sufficiency and risk exposure.
