I help founders and small business owners tell their story compellingly and get it funded. Most consultants do one or the other. I do both — and the combination is what makes the difference between work that goes nowhere and a funded deal that moves your business forward. What I bring that most freelancers can't: I've been the banker. I was a C-suite banker and led one of the top SBA lending operations in my state, which means I know exactly how underwriters think, what kills a deal before it starts, and how to position your business for approval. I've also been the founder — three times — and led due diligence for one of the largest angel syndicates in the US. I currently led the GTM strategies for a $12B company. I know what investors and lenders want to see because I've been on both sides of the table. Today I run a capital and go-to-market advisory practice helping businesses access debt and equity capital and launch market dominating products through top-notch GTM strategies. What I deliver: Documentation - Lender-ready business plans built around how banks actually underwrite - Investor pitch decks that lead with what capital allocators care about - SBA loan packaging and deal structuring for 7(a) and 504 programs - Financial projections that hold up under scrutiny - Executive summaries and investor memorandums for equity raises - Go-to-Market audits and actionable playbooks Capital Advisory - SBA 7(a) and 504 deal origination and placement - Commercial loan brokering and lender matching - Equity raise strategy and investor positioning for growth-stage founders - Debt structuring and lender negotiation - I have a network of over 200+ investors and lenders GTM Advisory - Market sizing and segmentation (TAM/SAM/SOM analysis) - Ideal customer profile (ICP) definition and buyer persona development - Competitive landscape mapping and differentiation strategy - Product-market fit validation and messaging frameworks - Pricing and packaging strategy Who I work with: Small business owners who need SBA financing. Founders preparing for a debt or equity capital raise. Growth-stage businesses that need someone who has done this before, not someone figuring it out alongside them. Why clients come back: I work fast, I think at the executive level, and I don't pad engagements. You get the thinking you need, documentation that performs, and where relevant, the capital relationship that closes the deal. If you are looking to grow, need a funded business, and not just a finished document — let's talk.

🔷 Good financial models should do more than explain the past. They should help management decide what to do next - whether that means raising capital, protecting runway, adjusting the operating plan, or preparing for a board discussion. I help founders, investors, and management teams build decision-ready financial models and ongoing FP&A systems for fundraising, valuation, cash planning, performance management, and strategic decisions. 🟢 6 years of experience across investment funds and securities firms 🟢 Reviewed companies, forecasts, valuations, and management assumptions from the investor side of the table 🟢 CFA Level III passed I now bring that perspective to founders and operators. 🚀 𝗜𝗡𝗩𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥-𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗬 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗠𝗢𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗦 I build fundraising, three-statement, valuation, acquisition, real estate, and project-finance models that connect operating assumptions to cash flow, funding requirements, valuation, investor returns, and downside scenarios. The work usually covers: ✅ Revenue and operating drivers ✅ P&L, balance sheet, and cash-flow forecasting ✅ Burn rate, runway, hiring plan, and use of funds ✅ Valuation, dilution, sensitivities, and scenario analysis ✅ Investor, lender, board, and management outputs 🔄 𝗢𝗡-𝗚𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗣&𝗔 & 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗖-𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 I also work with businesses on a recurring basis to turn the financial model into an operating management system. This can include: ✅ Annual budgeting and rolling forecasts ✅ Monthly budget-versus-actual analysis ✅ Cash-flow and runway monitoring ✅ Revenue, cost, headcount, and working-capital planning ✅ KPI dashboards and management reporting ✅ Board and investor reporting ✅ Scenario analysis and decision support 🔍 𝗠𝗬 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛 My focus is not simply to produce a working spreadsheet. I challenge the assumptions behind the numbers, identify where the operating plan may break, and translate financial data into clear decisions for management, investors, lenders, and boards. Every core engagement includes: 🎯 A plain-language summary of the assumptions that matter most 🎯 The key financial and operating risks 🎯 The questions investors, lenders, boards, or management teams are likely to raise 💡 Whether you need an investor-ready model for a specific transaction or an ongoing FP&A partner to help manage performance and cash, the starting point is the same: What decision do the numbers need to support?

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟭%; 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘀 ✅ | Ex-JPMorgan | CFA | $1BN+ raised by my models | 99% JSS | $600k total earnings I am a financial analyst with 10+ years of experience at a top Wall Street bank and as an independent financial consultant. I specialize in building, managing, and maintaining financial models, and advising businesses through model-driven insights. I've completed more financial modeling projects on Upwork than any other freelancer: 500+ engagements, 100% Job Success, Top Rated Plus, over $1BN raised on my models. CFA Charterholder. Financial Modeling I build investor-grade 3-statement models from scratch for your business. I've supported raises from seed through Series B, including a unicorn and multiple $100M+ ARR companies, along with lender models, board models, scenario and sensitivity analysis, valuation, and 409A work. I've built models for 1,000+ companies across virtually every industry, with particular expertise in lending, SaaS, ecommerce, logistics, and energy, AI has changed financial modeling in two important ways. It has made it effortless to spin up amateur models, and it has made high-quality models even more valuable by expanding what they can do. A model built from the ground up to be operated by AI agents is the best of both worlds: institutional-grade structure, optimized for scale, user-friendliness, and auditability, with an architecture that lets tools like Claude and ChatGPT in Excel update data, run scenarios, and make changes reliably. My models are built to leverage AI agents and serve as a "financial operating system" for your business that is easily actualized with current data and adapted as your needs evolve.
