Mani has excellent knowledge and business acumen. He is helping me excel as a small business owner and learn what it takes to be a "CFO" of a small business. I highly recommend him as a corporate finance coach or fractional CFO.

Mani is kind, relatable, fast to act and always learning. His deep understanding of all things finance balance so well with his deep understanding of the world and the people in it. He is an absolute pleasure to connect and exchange with.
