About Felipe Corrado

I am a CPA and Chief Financial Officer with a track record of leading finance organizations through complex, high-growth and turnaround environments. My experience spans public and private companies, with a focus on capital markets execution, M&A, and operational finance. I partner closely with Boards, investors, and executive teams to strengthen financial performance, improve visibility, and position businesses for scalable growth. Core areas of expertise include- Capital raising and structuring of debt and equity financings, including convertible instruments and equity-linked securities - Mergers & acquisitions, including diligence, valuation, deal structuring, and integration - Liquidity management, cash flow forecasting, and financial restructuring - SEC reporting, GAAP compliance, and audit oversight - Building finance infrastructure, internal controls, and scalable reporting processes As CFO of a publicly traded fintech company, I lead all finance and accounting functions while navigating capital markets, managing liquidity, and supporting strategic growth initiatives. Earlier in my career, I advised private equity firms, lenders, and operators on over 200 transactions across multiple industries, identifying significant value opportunities, purchase price adjustments, and fraud-related risks. I am particularly effective in situations that require both strategic leadership and hands-on execution—whether scaling a business, stabilizing operations, or preparing for a transaction.
