Meet the Team Behind Water Off a Goose

Nishan Says:

I have worked with hedge and private equity funds for over 17 years. In my most recent role, I was the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a $300 million private equity fund where I oversaw the company's finances and strategized business growth.

While working there, I spearheaded one of the most successful investments of the fund's portfolio – a family owned food and beverage company that was later acquired. In hindsight, this process proved equal parts rewarding: in addition to a successful exit, I discovered my true calling: helping family-owned businesses reach new horizons.

In my experience, talented entrepreneurs and small businesses could benefit from improving their accounting and financial management systems whether it's to keep better track of cash flow, profitability, and expense management or in advance of an equity or debt financing. It's a joy to work with family-owned businesses since they have a bias towards action and innovation.

Stories often live in subtle spaces: the soft pauses between words, dismissed flashes of intrigue, the ideas that receive only a passing mention. I pursue these moments, the ones that seem too small to matter. I've learned how often something worth building lies just beneath a quiet surface. Perhaps your creativity isn't missing at all. Maybe it's waiting for someone to listen– to shape it, to build it with you. For as long as we've existed, stories have carried the human experience. Within every story lives the essence of us. And that will always be worth telling.
