What Omar is known for

Omar Haddad is a controller and accounting leader who has built and rescued finance functions at three growth-stage companies, most recently as Corporate Controller at Sandalwood Retail Group, an $80M omnichannel retailer. There he closed a two-year backlog of unreconciled accounts, implemented a new ERP, and delivered the company's first clean audit, which directly enabled a strategic sale. Earlier he was Assistant Controller at Brightpath Devices and started in public accounting at a regional firm. Omar specializes in the unglamorous but essential work of GAAP-compliant books, scalable close processes, ERP implementations, and getting messy companies ready for diligence. He advises founders and CFOs who know their accounting is a liability and need someone to fix it before it costs them a deal.

What people say about Omar

Omar walked into a mess and gave us our first clean audit in company history. The buyer's diligence team had almost no comments. That's all Omar.
