Chief Financial Officer

Nuru Jangbu Sherpa

Finance, accounting, and financial operations.

← Leadership & firm

Background

Nuru leads MSA's finance and accounting practice. He has finance, accounting, and operations experience at Fenwick & West LLP, an Am Law 100 law firm, where the work runs through billing, cost allocation, expense review, and month-end reporting in an environment where every figure is subject to client and partner scrutiny.

He studies at the University of Washington Foster School of Business, where he has been named to the Dean's List and holds the Foster Excel certification. He is an AP Scholar with Distinction. His work centers on the client problem MSA was built around: organizations whose books are technically maintained but practically unusable — reconciled without being explained, complete without being analyzed.

Role at MSA

Within the firm he owns bookkeeping and accounting operations, financial reporting and analysis, reconciliation standards, and the internal controls governing how MSA handles client financial records. He sets the documentation standard every engagement is delivered against.

Outside the firm

He holds First Class Honours at Level 9 piano from The Royal Conservatory of Music — a decade of the same deliberate, repetitive practice that reconciliation work rewards. He has self-funded his tuition from the first quarter, commuting two hours a day to attend classes.
