have a finger in every pie 多管閒事
You cannot make a decision on any investment without asking him. He has a finger in every pie.

Suggestions:
These look good.
More often I hear the shorter phrase "I'm all thumbs" to mean the same thing.
For the second phrase I also hear:
He has a finger in "many" pies.
