Whether he’s educating our people on what it means to “think like an owner” or supporting our office leaders across the firm to grow their markets, Zach relentlessly focuses on creating tangible value for both the firm and our clients—and telling the story of how it’s done.
As chief financial officer, Zach oversees all aspects of the firm’s financial operations. He is responsible for supporting the company’s offices across the United States and assisting office leaders in driving growth. Zach is passionate about building financial acumen within our people—not only so they understand how the firm operates, but so they are equipped to articulate the financial value their consulting work has delivered.
During his tenure with West Monroe, Zach has been involved in virtually every major business initiative, including major acquisitions and the firm’s partnership with investment firm MSD Partners, L.P.
Zach joined West Monroe in 2011 from KPMG, where he worked in their Transaction Services practice and gained a keen understanding of the consulting business. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. In 2021, Zach was a finalist for the FEI Chicago CFO of the Year awards.
