Hire the Best Business Modeling Specialists

I’m Adam, co-founder of ProjectionHub. For over a decade, my team and I have helped more than 40,000 entrepreneurs prepare accurate financial projections, business plans, and investor materials that earn funding approval through banks, investors, and the Small Business Administration (SBA). Our work combines the expertise of a business plan writer, financial analyst, and SBA consultant. We bridge the gap between financial modeling and strategic storytelling, producing models and business plans that lenders and investors trust. Each project is built from scratch, tailored to your unique operations and goals-never a recycled template. Beyond pure modeling, we also guide founders through the broader financial picture: bookkeeping structure, expense tracking, cash flow logic, and profit margins that support real-world lending decisions. When needed, we collaborate with your accountant or SBA lender to align your SBA loan application with their compliance and credit standards. Our models are used by lenders, business analysts, and funding specialists to assess everything from new startup launches to seven-figure expansion loans. We’ve supported projects across healthcare, construction, real estate, e-commerce, SaaS, retail and consulting-each one built with the precision of an experienced financial modeler and the clarity of a seasoned business plan writer. Each deliverable includes five-year financial projections, full 3-statement models, DSCR and break-even analysis, and a lender-facing summary that integrates market research, growth assumptions, and a clear use-of-funds section. For founders raising equity, we also provide investor-focused financials and business plans that align with your story and valuation strategy. Clients often come to us after struggling with scattered spreadsheets or rejected loan applications. Whether you need a full SBA loan package, a funding-ready business plan, or strategic input on sales forecasting and business development, we help you present numbers that hold up under scrutiny. If you’re preparing to meet with a lender or investor, I can help you organize and finalize everything they need. We’ll ensure your financial presentation is complete and lender-ready. Send me a message describing your loan or investment type, target amount, and funding stage. I’ll outline the right mix of financial projections, business plan materials, and investor documents to get your application approved with confidence.

If you're a founder preparing for a raise, an operator running scenario planning, or a deal team underwriting an acquisition, you already know the model has to be right. Imprecise assumptions and poorly structured outputs don't just slow things down, they cost you credibility at the worst possible moment. I build financial models that founders can put in front of investors, operators can make real decisions from, and deal teams can defend in a room. Every model is assumption-driven, stress-tested, and built so you can update inputs and see the impact instantly without touching a formula. WHAT I BUILD: - Startup and growth models for seed through Series B raises - 3-statement integrated financial models and forecasts - Acquisition and buy-side underwriting models - Unit economics, cohort analysis, and LTV:CAC modeling - Rolling forecasts and cash runway models - KPI dashboards and executive reporting WHO I WORK WITH: Founders preparing for investor conversations, operators running growth and scenario planning, CFOs needing overflow modeling support, and deal teams underwriting acquisitions. I've supported numerous businesses across a wide range of industries but primarily specialize in AI, SaaS, D2C, services, and franchise verticals. HOW I WORK: I operate like an embedded finance partner: fast-moving, strategic, and data-driven. I return clean, client-ready deliverables on a tight timeline. Most engagements are up and running within 24 hours of scope confirmation and are ready for review within 72 hours. If your model needs to hold up in front of an investor, a board, or a buyer, let's talk.

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟭%; 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘀 ✅ | Ex-JPMorgan | CFA | $1BN+ raised by my models | 99% JSS | $600k total earnings I work with funded startups, growth-stage companies, and established businesses on the financial infrastructure that drives decisions: investor-ready models, board reporting, scenario analysis, valuation, and ongoing FP&A. My clients have raised over $1BN in debt and equity using models I built, from seed rounds through Series B, including a unicorn and multiple $100M+ ARR businesses. I keep a small client base by design. The best results I've delivered have come from relationships where I have real context on the business, not one-off projects. I'm the person you call before a board meeting, during a fundraise, when an acquisition lands on your desk, or when you just need someone who understands your numbers as well as you do. Financial Modeling: A model is only as good as the understanding behind it. I build FP&A models with a deep focus on usability, auditability, and, increasingly, AI integration. The goal is a financial source of truth that different teams across the business can actually work from. Transaction Advisory: Extensive private equity and M&A experience across hundreds of millions of dollars of transactions. LBO models, waterfall structures, complex valuations, diligence-ready outputs. When the model is the deal, the details matter, and that's where the investment banking training shows up. Send over a deck, a business plan, or just describe what you're working on. I'll scope it same day.
