Throughout my career, I have worked on financial modeling, valuations, transaction advisory, due diligence, fundraising, and strategic finance engagements across multiple industries. I lead client engagements and remain actively involved in the analysis and delivery of every project. Depending on the scope and timeline, I am also supported by my firm, Vista Analytics, a team of experienced analysts and associates that allows me to scale efficiently and meet demanding deadlines without compromising quality. 📦 Areas of Expertise: 🔢 Financial Modelling — 3-statement models, LBO, M&A/merger models, SaaS metrics, VC/hedge fund models, AI sector models 📊 Business Valuation — DCF, comparable company analysis, precedent transactions, 409A valuations, Purchase Price Allocation (PPA), Fairness Opinions 📈 Pitch Decks & CIMs — Investor decks, teasers, Confidential Information Memorandums built to raise capital 🔍 Investment & Due Diligence — Equity research, credit research, financial due diligence, industry analysis 📋 Business & Financial Plans — Pro forma statements, cash flow projections, market & competitor analysis 🤝 Transaction Advisory — Deal structuring, credit reports, credit enhancement, closing assistance 🏢 Why Clients Work with me: ✅ Direct access to an experienced finance professional with investment banking and transaction advisory experience.

You shouldn't need a finance degree to use your own financial model. I build financial models, business valuations, CIMs, pitch decks, due diligence (QoE) reports, FP&A forecasts, QuickBooks bookkeeping and Power BI dashboards. Every one passes the same test: can you open it, drive it, and defend it in front of an investor — without me in the room? If not, it's not done. By day I'm a senior analyst on live U.S. middle-market M&A deals — 60+ transactions, $5M to $50M+. On Upwork, you get that same analyst, directly. 100% Job Success. My reviews say it better than I can: ★ "Detailed and exceptionally well presented." ★ "Understood the brief quickly… quality work under tight timelines." ★ "Responsive and reliable." 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 ✔ Financial modeling — three-statement models, DCF, LBO, startup financial projections, scenario and sensitivity analysis (Excel, VBA, Power Query) ✔ Business valuation — DCF valuation, comparable company analysis, precedent transactions ✔ M&A and financial due diligence — Quality of Earnings (QoE) reports and databooks, EBITDA normalization, net working capital peg, proof of cash — buy-side and sell-side ✔ CIM and pitch deck — investor-ready Confidential Information Memorandums, teasers and fundraising decks, Seed to Series B ✔ FP&A — budgets, forecasts, 13-week cash flow, variance analysis, KPI dashboards, board packs ✔ Power BI — interactive finance dashboards: KPI scorecards, budget vs actual, drill-downs ✔ Bookkeeping and accounting — QuickBooks Online and Xero: monthly close, cleanup and catch-up, bank reconciliation, A/R and A/P, GAAP-aligned ✔ Equity research — investment theses, peer comps, coverage-style reports 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 ✔ This is my day job, not a course certificate — 60+ live M&A deals and 8 investor CIMs across AI, FinTech, HealthTech, SaaS, PropTech, crypto, real estate and D2C ✔ Every model ships audited — zero hardcodes, sourced assumptions, integrity checks, lender- and IC-ready formatting ✔ No black boxes, no week-long silences — a written workplan in 24 hours, updates at every step, same-day answers to "why this number?" ✔ Semi-qualified Chartered Accountant (ICAI) and CFA Level 1 candidate 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 Send the file, the data room, or just the question. Within 24 hours you'll have a clear workplan — scope, milestones, timeline. You approve the structure before the heavy build starts. U.S.-hours overlap, plain English, fast first draft. And if it's 2 a.m. and the investor meeting is Friday — message me anyway. I've shipped under worse deadlines.
