Zachary Weiner
Consultant • Operator • Angel Investor • Founder
I partner with visionary founders and operators to help build their brands, scale their businesses and unlock value.
What I Do
From seed-stage ventures to high-growth disruptors, I help founders ace the financial architecture, scale operations intelligently, and transform ambition into exits.
As a CFO, co-founder, and investor, I’ve guided startups from zero to exit.
I bring deep board-level insight, operational rigor, and strategic capital-market fluency.
My sweet spot: consumer brands, hospitality, CPG, real estate, and tech-enabled business models.

From pre-revenue to $100M+
Why work with me
You’ve built the business. You’ve found early traction. Now you need the kind of finance, operations, and growth-oriented leadership that moves you from startup scrappy to strategic scale-up.
As a CFO, co-founder and investor across hospitality, CPG and technology, I bring a rare blend of high-stakes operating experience and capital savvy in extremely competitive industries.
Together, let’s raise smarter, scale leaner and build the business you always pictured.
“I’ll help you start and grow your startup into the business you dreamed about, so you can grow revenue, scale systems, and spend more time working on your business.”
My track record
Start-Up to Scale-Up: I’ve been the first finance hire and later the fractional CFO for fast-growing companies, embedding best-in-class systems, retaining agility, and unlocking growth.
Brand & Business Literacy: With operational leadership at PAKA Apparel and hands-on experience across consumer and hospitality sectors, I know what founders face on the ground.
Outcome-Driven Partnering: My approach is not just advisory, it’s partnership. I roll up sleeves, help build the team, guide the decisions, and measure the results.

“I cannot recommend Zac enough. Zac is the rare type of “finance guy” that also intimately understands the nuances of building a startup. He has a wealth of knowledge around traditional financial management strategies, and the necessary creativity to manage an evolving startup’s capital needs. As a founder, you deal with a lot of uncertainty and risk. Having a guy like Zac in your corner helps to clarify your path, and he just makes success feel a little more do-able!”
CEO & Founder – Mully
“Working with Zac has been like having an in-house CFO. He goes beyond the spreadsheets to make sure he understands the strategic objectives of our business and helps build a financial strategy that aligns with those objectives. His work is always accurate, he’s time efficient, and easy to communicate with. We plan to keep using him as our virtual CFO for as long as we can.”
CEO – Bark Buildings
“Zachary has been an important member of our team since starting last year. When Zachary was hired he was tasked with building an accounting and finance system from scratch, starting with a large volume of unsorted data. He has exceeded our expectations and has been a pleasure to work with. He is responsive and clear in all communications.”
