Zahra helped us build our pricing and financial model and made our fundraising dramatically easier. Worth every dollar.” 📞 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 Invite me to your job and we’ll start with a quick call to understand your goals and see if there’s a fit. If I’m not the right person, I’ll tell you directly.

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.

Founders bring me in when a meaningful decision is approaching and the numbers are not yet ready. That usually means one of five things: ▶ a capital raise is coming ▶ debt or lender conversations need stronger support ▶ cash visibility is weak ▶ the forecast cannot be trusted ▶ investor, buyer, or diligence scrutiny is getting closer I work with founder-led companies that need decision-grade finance, not bookkeeping-only support. My core engagements include: 🔹 CFO Reviewed Financials™ A structured financial diagnostic that identifies the most important reporting, margin, liquidity, and control issues affecting decision quality. 🔹 CFO Reviewed Financial Model™ A diligence-grade review of an existing model to pressure-test assumptions, logic integrity, capital needs, and investor-readiness. 🔹 Comprehensive Financial Model™ A dynamic, driver-based model built for fundraising, debt, hiring decisions, expansion planning, or exit preparation. 🔹 Investor-Ready / Lender-Ready / Buyer-Ready Sprints Structured, time-boxed engagements for companies preparing for investor conversations, lender or credit discussions, buyer diligence, or exit-readiness planning. 🔹 Ongoing CFO Advisory Financial leadership for founders who need stronger forecasting, KPI discipline, reporting cadence, and strategic finance judgment. Published rate reflects initial advisory and diagnostic work. Larger readiness, modeling, and CFO engagements are scoped separately based on decision context, complexity, and timeline. Selected outcomes include: ✔ $29.3M raised across four VC rounds ✔ $20M expansion funding secured ✔ support for a $22.0M acquisition completed ahead of plan ✔ a $5M telehealth startup sale ✔ a turnaround from a $1.5M loss to a $0.5M profit I am a fit when the business has a real financial decision in front of it. I am not the right fit for bookkeeping-only, tax-return-only, or cosmetic spreadsheet work. If you are preparing for capital, debt, diligence, cash restructuring, or a strategic exit, send a message with the decision you need to make and the timeline you are working against.
