After assessing your idea, I will detail its problems, solutions, foreseeable risks, and opportunities, drastically improving your chances of launching a successful business the first time around. The deliverable will be an actionable blueprint that gives you an adequate evaluation of how your product or service fits within a niche market.

Our comprehensive reports deliver an actionable roadmap to reaching quantifiable milestones through strategic decision making and solution-based analytics. The experience of our business team stretches across an array of industries, giving our clients a thorough outlook of where they currently stand in their respective markets and how to reach long-term profitability. -Financial Forecast Report Clients will receive a comprehensive financial forecast report purposed to monitor company growth over time, present to investors, and maximize profit. Each excel forecast also comes with an intuitive financial summary report that sources key findings from the forecast into an investor-friendly illustration. I work with clients to ensure that their intended message is heard and investors are able to see their company's potential as well as the client themselves. Clients receive an extensive pre-screening interview so I can have the opportunity to fully understand the product or service before beginning my research. Following the acceptance of the deliverables, the client will also receive a complimentary consultation call to go over the report in its entirety.

I am an experienced technical consultant with over 15 years in the tech industry with a reputation for creatively solving complex problems. I've held just about every position at some point or another and have a knack for creating order from chaos. *On Demand Expert Advice* Considering switching or upgrading services? Employing a technical asset but not sure how to tell if they’re qualified? Don’t get bamboozled by jargon and con artists. I'll tell you what’s reasonable and filter out the garbage for you. People often don’t realize how costly, be it time, or money, one bad decision can be. *Product Planning / Reviews* Have an app or website idea? Not sure where to start, how much it should cost? I’ve got you covered. I’ve worked on and built many projects from idea to fully working product and I know where things go wrong. This is my bread and butter and I love nothing more than having post-it note parties with my clients (where possible). *Project & Product Management* Already have a product (or one in the works)? If things aren’t going the way you want, or you’re having a hard time keeping track, look no further. Maybe you just need someone to come in and whip things into shape for you. I've been doing exactly that for over 10 years. I can plug in exactly where you need me. What I do NOT do: - small development work - develop mobile apps (I can help plan which is more than half the battle and will save a lot of money in the long run, and can refer to excellent app development teams)Business Planning & Strategy

As a corporate CFO, Wall Street banker, Director of Equity Research and senior bank lender who has worked in the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America, I have extensive experience with funding for companies in a wide variety of industries. As a result, I know what a serious investor, commercial bank or other funder will require in a complete investor presentation or business plan before they will even consider providing you with the money you need to build your business. In close collaboration with you I will create these documents and the financial forecasting/budgeting tools you, your investors or your banker require. (A due diligence review by an angel investor group of a recent client's application package said it was "...one of the few combinations of documents that we reviewed from a potential client where all components of a well-thought out business model were present.") Whether you need only a detailed financial model or both a model and full business plan or investor presentation package (including pitch deck, cap table, etc.), you can see samples of previous projects in my Upwork profile. I will build your Microsoft Excel-based financial model using my very robust and fully customizable proprietary template. This template, developed over many years of real world use, helps assure your own forecast's accuracy while also saving you significant time and money in development. (If you don't have access to Excel, let me know and I'll arrange access for you while we work together.) When your financial model is complete, you will be able to change any assumption in the Model and the effects of that change will instantly flow throughout all elements of the Model. Any user can easily test all of the financial effects of any assumptions about revenue, profit margins, unit sales, pricing, operating expenses, fixed assets, equity and debt. You or your investor/banker can use the model to easily do unlimited "What If?" testing, sensitivity analysis or breakeven analysis. (Let me know if you will require inventory tracking or a balance sheet. Most companies I work with do not and it is not included in my project pricing unless you specifically request it.) For the text and graphics (charts, pictures, tables, etc.) in your plan, presentation or pitch deck I will use Microsoft Office software. (If you need specific advanced graphic skills for your document(s), you will need to hire a specialist graphics person.) Typically, the time needed to complete a detailed corporate financial model for one product in one market is about 15 - 18 work hours (add about 20% - 25% for a start-up, subscription-style revenue, a balance sheet or inventory management). A full business plan or investor presentation comprising 15 – 25 pages of text and graphics typically requires 15 - 25 hours of work over three to six weeks to create, depending on how quickly you can respond to my daily questions during the project, the complexity of your business, how much text you add to the business plan versus how much original text I have to create, etc. If you are planning to create a new company whose industry you have no experience in, the time required for completion will typically be greater than for an established company with existing operations. I can begin work on your project as soon as you wish once your payment method is verified by Upwork. If you would like me to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), that is not a problem. If you need a pitch deck, that will flow easily once your business plan or investor presentation is complete. My basic average hourly rate is $69 - $89/hr., depending on the complexity of the work required. Minimum Charges: Per Project - 4.0 hours; Per Work Session: 10 minutes. Premium for urgent completion (8 calendar days or less): 30%, 48-hour Rush Projects: 100% premium. All of my work time, including all phone conversations with you regarding your project, will be tracked by Upwork's software and reported to you by Upwork each Monday. If you are not well-versed in finance or accounting, I will be happy to explain everything to you as we go. That will be very important to your effort to raise money, as your banker or investor(s) will require that you fully understand all of the details of your business. I am committed to your complete satisfaction and will gladly make minor changes to my work within 14 calendar days of completion and closure of the project on Upwork at no additional cost to you. So, let's talk! I am usually in the US Eastern time zone and available to discuss your project at your convenience. I'm happy to have an initial consultation at no cost to you.

Among the projects I have worked on, some of the most rewarding allowed my two passions to converge: research and business development. Said projects entailed producing research to support learning strategies adopted and deployed for companies in the fintech, agritech, and edtech spaces. Many of the deliverables involved content guided by corporate strategy in the form of presentation documentation, infographics, and various multimodal products to ensure clients understood the strategy and how it would ensure their goals. My education, expertise, and experience make me uniquely qualified to work on many writing projects. Regardless of the industry or genre, the goal is the same, helping writers, thinkers, anBusiness Planning & Strategy

I am an enthusiastic strategy-minded professional, based out of Tampa, FL. Over the years I've found joy in roles that challenge me, allow me to grow, and are open to my creative ways of challenging the norm. My educational background of psychology and public relations has given me an arsenal of soft skills that can mitigate risk, conflict, and aversion to change with ease, and my passion for architectural design is simply due to the balance of logic and creativity that it requires - it's my kind of puzzle. I have an innate skill of seeing macro and micro components of issues simultaneously, which makes business challenges interesting and rewarding for me. I'm passionate about making a difference via personal encounters and the work I achieve, in hopes that I leave a legacy behind. I want to be known as the person that pulled others up the ladder with me, and the one that could take even the most convoluted situations and find a way to make it work through some randomly creative way of thinking.Business Planning & Strategy

Hire me to simplify and solve complex business problems with precision and efficiency: • Strategy • Systems • Scale My skill set includes: • Comprehensive software development lifecycle management • Advanced proficiency in product/project management, Agile, and Scrum • Expertise in front-end, back-end development, and UX/UI design • Specialized in accessibility, conversion copywriting, and SEO • Accomplished in executive ghostwriting, LinkedIn strategy, and B2B lead generation • Skilled in no-code/low-code development, Salesforce, CRM, automations, and integrations • Strategic business planning, competitive analysis, and impactful presentations My background: • 2006: I was working my way up the F500 corporate ladder, from retail bank branch manager to Regional Manager of Learning and Development over a multi-state footprint. I was a shining star racing to the top. • 2009: Then I became a mom. I fell in love with my new role. I knew I wanted to work, but I knew I had to stay home. So I built my tech skills on top of my management skills and charted a new course up and through digital marketing, development, and operations. • 2012: I never said "no" to a project in my cue and stayed committed to constant skill development and process improvement. I learned to build on Wordpress and got my first HubSpot certifications working under a great agency. • 2020: Until Covid hit, I was booked out at full year and topped the search results for Copywriter in Miami search terms. My digital marketing services clientele were in the events, travel, and hospitality, so I had to reinvent myself. That's the year I got into data analysis and upskilled operationally. • 2024: Today I'm a fractional executive, consultant, strategist, coach, and mentor. I hold roles on various boards and love the variety and challenge that my project-based career offers. Having a digital career today layered on top of a brick-and-mortar financial services career early on has equipped me with the ability to lead people, manage projects, simplify the ambiguity, and show startups how the "big companies" manage to KPIs. It's fun and rewarding. No two days are the same. But the skills I use and the problems I solve remain universal and constant. While I appreciate the word of mouth referrals I've enjoyed especially over the past several years in Florida, I realize it's time to re-establish myself online and welcome a greater level of visibility, availability, and earning potential by being available to a global audience of prospective clientele.
