Who we are · operations and finance leadership
If the work is good and the money still feels tight, that is what we fix. Operations and finance leadership in the seat with you, built around how your business actually runs. Thirty minutes on the phone tells us both if it is a fit.
We have built, run, and operated our own companies and other people's, on jobs as small as swapping doorknobs and painting a unit and as large as the quality and commissioning programs on mission-critical data center campuses. That is why we know what to look for in a two-truck shop, and how to train the person who has to hold it after we leave.

Ten years on the teams delivering hyperscale data centers and utility-scale energy, then operations for owner-run companies and nonprofits. Every engagement starts and ends with him.

Butler CFO & Tax, the licensed division
Tax and accounting, in house. Most firms hand you to your CPA and hope. We walk down the hall.
The companies we own, a finance and tax firm and a service business, tripled on this playbook. Client work stays confidential, so no client names appear here or anywhere else. The proof of an engagement is what your company can do at the end of it.
I spent about ten years on the teams that build mission-critical infrastructure: project engineering and QA/commissioning on utility-scale energy, quality on a hyperscale data center, owner's representation on more than a gigawatt of utility-scale solar and energy projects, and quality and commissioning program management at Meta's Altoona and Eagle Mountain data center campuses. The goal on every one of those jobs was to get it right before anything had to be redone. I bring that goal to your back office.
Since 2020 I have run WHET and worked with more than 40 owner-run companies and three nonprofits. I have co-owned Butler CFO & Tax with my wife Vanessa since it opened, and in 2023 I took over its operations. Revenue has tripled since.
