Hey, I’m Murti.

I’m a financial manager and treasurer with a proven track record of improving organizational efficiency.

Work with Me

Welcome to my space!

My Approach:

Collaborative

From the Office of the Governor to small startups, I’ve learned that good financial managers shouldn’t dictate an organization’s actions. When budgets need to be cut, I use the data to present a range of viable options in a form that is easy to understand. This makes it possible for teams to make difficult decisions together.

Data Driven, Mission Focused

When weighing options, most of the battle lies between gathering recent data and properly interpreting its implications. It is hard for an organization to make bad decisions when its leadership truly understands the ramifications of its current financial situation.

Cost Savings Initiatives

Decreased operational costs by 27% achieving financial solvency
Specialization in midsized firms

With annual budgets between $10M and $92M
Technological Integration

Integration of books, financial data, and payment processing to improve efficiency

Testimonials

"I spent much of my career leading efforts to phase out fossil fuels and increase clean sources of energy statewide. Opposing interests have major resources available to support their arguments. Murti has an exceptional talent for knowing exactly where the weaknesses are in the opposing interest’s financial projections, and convincing stakeholders of why the business case for alternatives is lower cost and more beneficial in the long run."
