Sara Rivard

CFO at DistillerSR | CPA

With over 18 years of diverse financial experience, I am a seasoned executive who leads with strategic vision, analytical rigor, and operational excellence. As the CFO at DistillerSR, I oversee the financial planning, reporting, and management of a fast-growing software company that provides AI-powered systematic review solutions for research and healthcare.

I have a proven track record of driving key initiatives that enhance business performance, optimize capital structure, and create value for stakeholders. At my previous role as VP Finance at MindBridge, I played a pivotal role in securing and managing over $40 million in equity and debt financing, leading the financial due diligence for two acquisitions, and implementing process improvements that resulted in 15% cost reduction. I also have a passion for developing and empowering teams, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and accountability. In addition to my CPA certification, I am also a certified yoga teacher (RYT200), and I believe in the importance of wellness and balance in both personal and professional life.
