David West, CFA

Strategic CFO & Transaction Advisor

I’m a CFA Charterholder with 20+ years of experience in the finance industry. I founded 3 WEST in 2015 (then West Valuation Partners) to bring high-level financial strategy & support to growing companies.

Before that, I spent seven years as a sell-side equity analyst with a national investment bank, earning two national Thomson Reuters Starmine awards. I also served as VP at a private equity group managing $4.5 billion in assets, where I gained a deep understanding of how investors evaluate businesses.

Clients come to me for financial insight, structure, & strategic clarity - my objective is to make working together as enjoyable as it is impactful.

IMMIDUCATION, CEO

Working with David was an invaluable experience for my business & for my learning as a Founder/CEO. David took the time to explain financial aspects of M&A for my company that I could not have foreseen. His expertise & experience are top notch; but what made him stand out to me is his heart, patience & follow through. I'd recommend David any day.

ARCA CLIMATE, CEO

David West has been instrumental in helping us understand project economics, model growth scenarios, negotiate transactions & mobilize grants & investment. Working first on the foundations of our financial model, we were then able to leverage that tool to support contract negotiations with a major partner. Our financial tools – built & supported by David – have helped us win grant support & prepare for our next equity raise.
