Mike Jerman

Transaction, technical accounting, and CFO leadership for management teams, sponsors, and boards.

Mike has spent 19+ years in accounting advisory leadership. He leads the Advisory practice at Numera and has run engagements for organizations with revenues from $200 million to more than $40 billion, across consumer, energy, utilities, mining, transportation, and logistics.

Experience

Mike started his career as a Captain in the United States Air Force. He came to accounting after that, spending the early part of his career at PwC as a Director in the United States and the United Kingdom, advising public and private companies on complex reporting matters, capital-markets activity, and significant organizational change.

He went on to serve as CFO to private-equity-backed businesses in energy, SaaS, and manufacturing. Clients get both: an operator who has carried the number, and a technical advisor who knows what the auditors will ask.

M&A and financial due diligence

Transaction advisory across equity and debt offerings, acquisitions, carve-outs, and restructurings, on buy-side and sell-side mandates.

His teams have run quality of earnings and financial due diligence for buyers at every deal size, from SBA-financed search acquisitions through middle-market private equity.

Technical accounting, SOX, and IPO readiness

Complex reporting matters, SOX implementation, SEC and PCAOB questions, and the work of getting a company's accounting ready for public-company scrutiny.

The work happens before the filing deadline, not after it.

Board advisory and interim leadership

Public company and private equity board and audit committee advisory for companies working through a transaction, a restructuring, or a change at the top of finance—including interim CFO and controller coverage while a finance function is between leaders.
