    Are you trying to raise money from investors, VC’s, angels or private equity funds? Are you having a hard time securing the funds you need to take your business to the next level? You’re not alone. Like many entrepreneurs, you know your idea is great and you know you’re ready to get to the next stage, but you also know you need investment to propel things forward. But angels, investors, VC’s - none of them know you, they’ve never heard of your company before, and they probably know very little about the market you’re in. It’s a quandary nearly every one of my past clients has been in. But with a focus on outcomes and deep expertise across areas such as marketing, finance, sales and operations – to name just a few – I can help you engage and connect with investors, fast. “One of my to-to guys, Chris is rock solid and works smart, which makes for exceptional value.” I’ve worked with companies across a wide variety of sectors, including SaaS, Health and Fintech, and I’ve helped companies just like yours get funded and take their businesses to the next level. I’ve been there myself – I started my own company and took it to $12M in revenue and a team of over 40. My focus nowadays is on making sure businesses just like yours are prepared. That means equipping you with: 1) A compelling story that will engage investors on their level. 2) An analytically-sound pitch deck, financial model and business plan that will back up your narrative and ensure you tell a robust, seamless and comprehensive story. “I came to Chris because I was stuck and knew I needed to reach out to another professional for help. I wanted to think I was doing everything right, but Chris came in and helped me see my company from another angle. He invested his time and energy into my business as if it were his own. Never in a million years would I have imagined so much improvement could be seen in such a small amount of time.” If you’re looking to take that next step, then let’s chat. Let’s figure out a way for you to achieve the vision you’ve always dreamed of.

    10+ years of experience scrubbing, analyzing and presenting data. I have worked as a data/financial analyst and consultant for IT companies, healthcare systems, and education agencies. I specialize in extracting trends and insights from data and presenting those insights in a way that helps businesses and managers make decisions. The virtue of my data analysis is action - I guide leaders to the right conclusions, so that they can improve their organization or meet specific outcomes (data work is not about numbers on a page!). I am known for my strong attention to detail and for high levels of customer service. I believe my strength is finding a balance between technical skills (providing strong, accurate analysis) and understanding business need (applying that analysis well, given unique industry and organization). Education: I have an MBA with a specialization in Corporate Finance. I have completed my CFA Level 1 exam. I have studied data analytics and data techniques through professional experiences for 10+ years.

    I can help you with your challenges, and I've done it before: * "Jeffrey demonstrated impressive skills in understanding our product and product vision. He performed the mission beyond expectations. Would no doubt hire again and look forward to doing so." * "Impressive. Good communication as well." * "Jeff has provided more than I expected. He is a great professional and you just feel that you are in good hands from the beginning." * “Jeffrey is very professional, competent and communicative. It's a pleasure to work with him.” * "I am not easy client but Jeffrey did a good job, defiantly i will be happy to work with him again and highly recommend to others" * "Very experienced and provided many insights to our project, will defiantly hire again" * "Very professional and knowledgeable. Excellent to work with!" * “Professional and personable. I look forward to working with Jeffrey again” * “Very satisfied. Responsible, professional and completed the job as indicated.” * “Working with Jeffrey ... was a pleasure. His understanding of what we needed to achieve, his technical capability and his ability to work with feedback and action it quickly means I'm looking forward to working with him again in the future. Highly recommended." * “Jeffrey was a very good help on our project, always available and ready to present good solutions. I would recommend his work to a friend.” I have been working as an enterprise architect in financial services for over thirty years. I focus on Java, web technologies (HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery mobile, web services), APIs and new technologies such as cloud services, distributed storage, graph databases, big data tools, application servers (WebSphere, WebLogic, TomEE) and database systems (MS SQL, Oracle, DB2, Cassandra/Titan). I have been working on Elance as technical advisor for several start-ups. One is a start-up in San Francisco that I worked with since May 2014 as their "part-time, remote CTO" -- after documenting the design for their investment management software, then documenting the enterprise software non-functional requirements that they need to meet to be taken seriously in the financial services world, and was their "technical project manager" for over 6 months. I have also helped them on their business continuity planning and information security programs that they need in place to connect to some large investment firms. Another is a more mature start-up in Indonesia, but they have several challenges with the organization of their IT team and development activities. I am helping them to put in place methods, tools and procedures. I work regularly with other smaller start-ups; all related to their IT activities and most of them with a focus on efficiently outsourcing to lower-cost resources.

    I.T. Program manager Certifications: SAFe, BABOK, Pursuing PMP Scrum Master. SAFe Certified Scrum Master Agile & Business Coach Atlassian expert Kanban Lean startup methodology Business Coach Online project management work experience: 7 years Overall work experience: 12 years- project management, policies&procedures creation, customer service, presentations, mind maps, software testing&implementation, operations, recruiting, training Can you relate to some of the below statements? - You have a shiny new service / website idea, but you have no clue where and from what to start - You spend too much on development without getting any tangible results - Your project budget looks like a black hole constantly sucking in more money and people - Your team is moaning about not clear requirements and they build not the thing you wanted them to in the first place - It feels like you are firefighting all the time instead of delivering value to your customers - You sometimes catch yourself thinking that all developers must be scammers - You want the processes in your company to work seamlessly and, ideally, automatically, instead there’s too much back and forth, a lot gets lost in translation and you have too many human errors - You want to focus on other business processes like marketing and sales, but instead, you constantly get pulled into software development If you recognize yourself at least in one of those, then you’ve come to the right place! I'm the real deal when it comes to building software. I'm an experienced SCRUM Master/Technical Project Manager with a lot to offer for any project I'm hired to help with. I have the skills, knowledge, and experience to set up and manage the processes needed to empower a successful development team. At the end of the day, I offer organizations a controllable workflow for projects that are on the budget, on time and always successful. Case studies: UI/UX problem: Organizing chaos, seeing the forest for the trees, strategical and systematic thinking - it's all me. I came to the project once where not even the developers that worked there for a year understood how the system was supposed to work and I solved that puzzle in a month. It turned out that 2 key things needed improvement - the admin UI (which was an impossible maze of links and buttons) and testing of the system (that not a single developer did, they usually relied on users reporting the bugs to the team). Plus the documentation was absent so it was almost an investigation that took place and finally allowed to see the big picture. BA problem: I'm good at business analysis, to say the least. I'm comfortable with getting the requirements out of the customers and getting the information into actionable plans. Once I was given a bunch of PDFs exported from a bookkeeping program, a storm of tickets on a Kanban board and a brief explanation of how the order processing should look like. I came up with a flow chart, that described the processes and interviewed most of the managers, later we implemented a sophisticated order processing system based on Symfony3 which integrates with Podio ticket tracker. Let's see how I can help your business, contact me for the first 30 minute free consultation.

    Hello! Thanks for stopping by! I have more than 10 years of experience in business analysis and corporate finances. I started my career in the largest Bulgarian bank analyzing the eligibility of small and medium sized enterprises for lending. I moved to the Bulgarian Credit Rating Agency where I participated in assigning credit ratings to 13 companies, 2 municipalities and a bank using Moody's methodology. I further enhanced my experience by working in a Luxembourg based M&A advisory company and in the largest Bulgarian mining company as an investment analyst. On my latest position I was engaged in developing a portfolio of investments (primarily seed capital, acquisitions and mining projects) seeking additional return for shareholders. The scope of my work included financial analysis, financial modelling and forecasting, industry analysis, project/company valuation, return analysis, feasibility studies. I also have experience working with international M&A teams and was involved in several transactions, both on sell and buy side. My contribution, apart from purely financial work, included drafting Letters of Intent, Non-Disclosure Agreements, Non-Binding Offers, preparing management presentations, investment teasers, information memorandums, investor files. I am a passionate puzzle solver with an eye for detail. Enthusiastic about overperforming.

    Your B2B business is growing but you don't feel in control. You want to launch a new product or startup but are unsure of the next steps. Growth is uneven. I’ve been there too. It's often about bringing Clarity to Clutter! TESTIMONIALS FROM SOME OF MY CLIENTS: “George has been an outstanding partner in developing a well thought out and effective business plan” “He has been a valuable advisor and coach for my business. George has helped me think through and put in place systems for realizing more predictable growth and managing more growth profitably.” “George was great to work with. He has great business knowledge and had awesome ideas and insights.” “Excellent business writer, very knowledgeable and extremely communicative.” NOT MANY FREELANCERS HAVE SUCH DIVERSITY OF EXPERIENCE AND ABILITY TO DELIVER VALUE... Business leaders need partners that can bring a seasoned perspective but also deliver what’s needed today. You need help to focus on what’s most important today, fix it, and then move on to the next area. My clients have built momentum for a new product or new business launch. They have turned their operations around to regain the growth and profit momentum they once had. For the last three decades, serving as an operating executive and consultant, I’ve learned that leaders know when they need help. The bigger problem can be defining the problem and identifying the right help to address it. When stuck, you need perspective and insight. Someone that has been where you are, that can quickly see what you’re facing, and offer valuable input. But, having only advice doesn’t always move the needle. You need value delivered to help regain or build momentum. Here are a few examples: •Writing a business plan –for a startup, restructuring or launching a new product begins with grasping the vision, considering all elements that contribute to or inhibit success, modeling financially, and then constructing a story that simply and realistically communicates this to investors, partners, customers or employees. •Startup plans – keep it simple, testable, and flexible until customer value is identified, with a low-cost, scalable business model. •Investor presentations – tell a compelling, understandable and emotional story that resonates. •Market research – identify the market segments and customer influence points before launching. For non-profits its developing campaigns that target all the constituencies. •Go to Market plans – taking a product or service to market needs well-designed marketing and sales programs that are cost-effective and coordinated. •Operational improvement – identifying what’s working and what needs changing, positioning for growth or stability, declaring the key metrics that indicate progress. •Financial projections - modeling change that manages cash flow and projects profits aligned with the vision. For non-profits, it’s starting from the beginning each year to identify the funds needed. Your business needs constant care and continuous change. Staying focused on what’s most important until it’s addressed is one of the biggest challenges you face. My broad perspective helps me keep you laser-focused. I could go on and on. I am a student of business and love to dig deep and share ideas. But I'd rather hear about what you’re facing today... To be candid, I stay busy and rarely have time to take on a new client. Even then, I screen very carefully to make sure it's a good fit. So if you need something in a rush, done cheap, or doesn’t require much thinking, please look elsewhere. It will save us both time and energy. Otherwise, feel free to contact me using one of the buttons at the top of the page, and I'll do my best to get back to you ASAP. Best, George

How to Hire Top Business Analysts

How to hire business analysts

In the modern marketplace, a business’s success depends upon its ability to collect the right information and act upon it. A business analyst can help you identify KPIs, formulate strategies, communicate stakeholder objectives, and otherwise reduce the administrative overhead associated with running a business.

So how do you hire business analysts? What follows are some tips for finding top business analysts on Upwork.

How to shortlist business analysis professionals

As you’re browsing available business analysis consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the contractors you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a business analyst who understands the language of your business so they can effectively communicate requirements from stakeholders.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., creating presentations with Lucidchart).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular business analyst.

How to write an effective business analyst job post

With a clear picture of your ideal business analyst in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective business analyst job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From requirements gathering to stakeholder management, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain presentation tools, collaborative software, or data analytics suites, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

BUSINESS ANALYSTS FAQ

What is a business analyst?

A business analyst is someone who gathers requirements from management and stakeholders and develops a plan of action on how to meet their goals. They analyze the business to see which resources (such as employees and company assets) are available and which need to be acquired. A big part of the role is serving as an information liaison between different departments of a company.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in business analysis professionals:

  • Business analysis (e.g., business process modeling, continuity planning)
  • Data analytics
  • Strong written and verbal communication

Why hire business analysts?

The trick to finding top business analysts is to identify your needs. Do you need only basic administrative help, or are you also seeking the strong data analytics skills of a business intelligence analyst to assist with data mergers, master reports, and process improvements? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a business analyst?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced business analyst may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their business analysis services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
