The approach
The process, governance, and documentation of a global financial institution, applied at independent-firm scale.
Systems designed around how your team works and how your clients expect to be served.
Your firm scales because the operating model carries the weight, not because you hired your way out of it.
The founder
Fractional COO
With over 20 years in financial services operations, my career spans fund operations for global asset managers at BNY Mellon, institutional client solutions, hedge fund operations, and fund manager relationships at Wilshire, and operational leadership in private wealth, where I modernized the infrastructure of a growing advisory firm.
What distinguishes my work is the combination: institutional-grade rigor, process, and governance, paired with a genuine understanding of the people and relationship dynamics that define high-touch private wealth.
I partner with a select group of growth-minded founder-advisors as a dedicated strategic leader, designing the operational roadmaps, systems, and technology frameworks so your firm scales sustainably, your team executes with confidence, and you stay focused on growth.

Growth-minded founder-advisors at independent and hybrid RIAs where operations, not demand, is the constraint on growth.
Compliance counsel keeps you inside the lines. Cedarbluff builds the operating model — people, process, and technology — that lets you grow, with the compliance documentation to support it.
No. We take ownership of systems, vendors, and the technology roadmap so your advisors and staff can stay focused on clients. Documentation and playbooks stay with you.
With a 30-minute conversation, then an Operational Assessment scoped to your firm — larger or smaller depending on where you are. The assessment produces the roadmap that a fractional COO or implementation engagement executes.
What's next for your firm?
A working conversation about how your firm runs today: what's slow, what's fragile, and where the leverage is. No deck, no pitch.
