What’s Double Header Solutions?

A Note From Our CEO:


At Double Header Solutions, our mission is to give back to the current and next generation of Investment Managers, Entrepreneurs and future CFO/COO/CCOs.  


I started Double Header Solutions with a focus on sharing my 30 years of experience as an auditor and in-house financial executive in hedge funds, private equity, family office and startup businesses.


Double Header Solutions pays tribute to the game of baseball. A sport so great one game a day is not enough!
