Background

About Jeffrey Shade

With over thirteen years of experience working across various industries (i.e, health, life sciences, med-tech, technology, not-for-profit, and government sectors), my extensive background in various accounting and auditing frameworks has equipped me with a deep understanding of the reporting challenges faced by CFO/Controllership structures in these industries, as well as the best practice strategies & innovations needed to overcome them. As a go-to subject matter resource, I have guided clients through complex business combinations, tackled intricate technical accounting issues (e.g, complex ASC 606 arrangements), navigated the dynamic regulatory landscape of ESG and health equity, and orchestrated strategic cash flow forecasting. My proficiency extends to empowering organizations (e.g, multi-hospital health systems/academic medical centers, global nonprofit organizations, early-stage biomedical startups) with best-in-class resources and tools to streamline their financial statement close processes and establish robust, audit-ready internal controls. Leadership to me means championing diversity, inclusiveness, and equity. I strive to ensure that these tenets are the fabric that binds the talents of my teams and clients through creating an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to reach their full potential. I am committed to leveraging the collective wealth of perspectives, ideas, and experiences that a varied workforce offers, as I firmly believe this is essential for driving innovation and fostering positive growth both within organizations and society.
