Darius is an Associate with more than four years of experience across consulting and investment banking.

At Accordion, Darius has supported a range of high-impact finance and transformation engagements across budgeting, forecasting, revenue operations, long-range planning, and financial reporting. He has built dynamic operating and revenue models, redesigned reporting packages to improve efficiency and usability, and developed tailored analyses to support client decision-making across complex business environments.

In one select project, he partnered directly with the CFO of a leading digital biotechnology firm to build a bottoms-up, dynamic revenue waterfall model that replaced the private equity deal team’s legacy model and became the foundation for internal management forecasting. He has also led revenue operations and visibility workstreams, developed bespoke impairment and valuation models, supported liquidity and long-range planning analyses, and contributed to client-ready presentations and other strategic deliverables.

Before joining Accordion, Darius worked at Broadhaven Capital Partners, an M&A advisory boutique and growth equity investor, where he advised on and evaluated a variety of acquisitions and capital raises, primarily in the fintech sector.

In one representative transaction, Darius served as a sell-side advisor to a wealth management consulting firm, working closely with senior management and ownership to prepare marketing and process materials, including the confidential information memorandum, management presentations, and data room exhibits. He also performed discounted cash flow and merger analyses to assess potential accretion and dilution outcomes.

Darius earned a B.A. in Economics from the University of Chicago.
