Nathan Duncan

Finance Manager | FP&A & Corporate Development

Salt Lake City, UT

Finance leader with an MBA from Tuck and a background in M&A diligence, financial modeling, and building the tools that make finance teams faster. I bring a rare combination of deal experience, accounting rigor, and hands-on software development — I don't just build the financial model, I build the system that keeps it accurate.

What I Bring

Finance & Accounting

Early-warning financial systems, monthly cash forecasting, real-time reporting sync engines.

M&A

Led diligence and post-close integration on a competitor acquisition; underwrote a $1B tech M&A investment.

Statistics & Data

Built hiring algorithms and early-warning models; automated investor reporting to cut build time 50%+.

Coding & Development

Advanced in Python, JavaScript, Rust, R, SQL. Ships production tools, not just prototypes.

Projects
