Chirag has spent almost 15 years in cybersecurity and worked in 10 different countries with talented cyber engineers. So, he knows the difference between a virus and a worm. Early in his career, he provided network security for Fortune 500 clients before advancing to cybersecurity, where he then spent his time learning and securing multiple clouds. His journey led him to Australia, where he worked with the government before starting his company and consulting for South Australia Health Department and a major bank. He won several prestigious awards and earned around 26 technical certifications. Currently, he is working with a team of people much smarter than him at Cybernara. You can find him geeking out on LinkedIn at Chirag’s LinkedIn. Also, don’t forget to say hi.

Senior brand and digital designer with 15+ years building and scaling brands for companies large and small. I design brand systems, campaign creative, and digital-first assets (social, display, motion) that look agency-grade but ship at in-house speed. I build self-serve design systems that let my clients and their teams produce their own on-brand assets, saving cost and cutting back-and-forth, and I move quickly without dropping quality, with a track record of turning creative work around about a third faster. Comfortable across Adobe CC, Figma, Canva, motion/short-form video, and AI-assisted creative workflows. Whether you need a full visual identity, a campaign rolled out across channels, or a system that lets your team self-serve on-brand assets, I can take it from concept to production. Send me a quick brief and I'll tell you exactly how I'd approach it.

I build the financial systems, operations, and AI tooling that growing businesses run on — as a Virtual CFO, Virtual COO, and hands-on systems builder. Production systems, not prototypes. Practical strategy, not theory. I run a regulated commercial finance practice in Australia. Every tool I sell here, I built for that practice first — under real compliance load, with real client files, against real time pressure. The MCP server, the AI agents, the document-generation skills, the data pipelines, the financial models — they were never proof of concepts. They were how I ran the business. What that means for you: I don't need to be onboarded into "the finance domain," "the broker workflow," "what compliance actually looks like," or "how a small business really makes and spends money." I have lived all of it for eighteen years across Westpac, Citi, ADP, Vasco Pay (Novatti Group), and now my own practice — on the operator side, not just observing from the consultant's chair. Most fractional CFOs and COOs hand you a spreadsheet and a recommendation. I hand you the recommendation and the system that runs it. That's the difference. As your Virtual CFO: Financial strategy, cashflow forecasting, budgeting, and financial modelling that a founder can actually read and trust. Serviceability and DSCR analysis, normalised EBITDA schedules, pricing and margin work, cost control, and lender-, investor-, or board-ready financial summaries — something I prepare as core work in commercial lending, not once a year. I bring structure, clarity, and foresight to the numbers, and I tell you what they actually mean for the decision in front of you. As your Virtual COO: I turn businesses that run on Excel, email, and tribal knowledge into businesses that run on systems. Operations and process design, 30/60/90 priorities, accountability, and the productising of recurring workflows so the business doesn't live in your head. Eighteen years including process and QA leadership (Telstra), payroll and operations (ADP), and root-cause work at Big Four banks — the bottleneck-finding muscle this kind of role runs on. As your hands-on systems & AI builder (the part most CFOs/COOs can't do): AI agents and Claude Skills for business workflows — shipped MCP servers, custom Claude Skills, RAG pipelines, and agent-based automations. If you have a high-volume manual task with rules behind it, I can probably ship the agent that does it. Internal tools and rules engines — feasibility calculators, lifecycle cost models, financial decision engines, lender-selection logic. Built for reuse, with audit trails, so analytical work survives staff turnover. Workflow automation and integrations — Cloudflare Workers, D1, scheduled triggers, API integrations, email triage, CRM sync. Systems that ingest unstructured data and emit structured, auditable outputs. Market intelligence and property data — suburb-level analysis integrating public data (HTAG, ABS Census) into branded, investor-grade reports with return analysis. How I work: I am direct. I will tell you when an idea will not scale, when a workflow is fixable with rules before AI, and when the right answer is a one-page Excel sheet rather than a custom build — or a finance process tightened before any tool is bought. I write working software, I document what I ship, and I leave you with something you or your team can maintain after I am gone. My background, briefly: 18 years in financial services — Big Four banking (Westpac, Citi), fintech and payments (Vasco Pay / Novatti Group as Senior Product Manager), payroll and operations (ADP, Telstra), and now founder of my own regulated practice (built from $10K to ~$200K in its first year). I hold a Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning, a Graduate Certificate in Financial Planning, Australian credit licensee status, and the ABFP (Accredited Behavioural Finance Professional) designation. I am currently completing the Certified Fund Manager designation. If any of these sound like your problem, message me: "We're flying blind on cashflow and need forecasting and reporting we can actually trust." "Our operations run on me, Excel, email, and tribal knowledge — we need it productised." "We want to use AI internally but everything we've tried is a demo, not a system." "We need a financial model, feasibility study, or credit submission built right." "Our team spends hours each week on a task an LLM agent could do reliably." "We have data sitting in three systems and no one is making decisions with it." "We need senior finance and operations leadership — but not a full-time hire." I will be honest in scoping, realistic in timelines, and I will not sell you something you do not need. Happy to discuss your business in a short call.

If you run a business in a highly regulated industry and need practical HR systems that protect your organisation and support growth, you’re in the right place. I help small and medium-sized businesses, such as NDIS providers, financial services firms and other regulated service organisations stay compliant, strengthen their people practices, and build HR foundations that scale as they grow. These businesses often struggle to keep up with complex requirements while also managing rapid expansion and day-to-day people challenges With over 20 years of HR experience, I support clients to: ✓ Reduce compliance risk with clear, audit-ready HR and policy frameworks ✓ Resolve complex people issues with confidence and minimal disruption ✓ Build leadership capability and a culture where people perform at their best ✓ Strengthen HR operations so the business can grow without chaos or confusion Recently, I’ve helped multiple regulated businesses revise employment contracts, update policies and procedures, and navigate tricky compliance and conflict matters, giving owners peace of mind knowing their systems will stand up to scrutiny and protect them from costly disruptions, penalties, or even the risk of closure What I Can Help You With: I provide fractional and project-based HR support, including: • HR compliance reviews & Health Checks • Writing clear HR and compliance documentation • Drafting tailored policies, procedures & employment contracts • Performance management & resolving conflict • Employee relations advice for complex situations • Workforce planning • Recruitment, onboarding & retention strategies • Coaching and mentoring for managers and team leaders What It Feels Like to Work with Me: My clients tell me I bring clarity when situations feel overwhelming. For example, one NDIS business owner was trapped in a complex compliance issue that felt like a no-win scenario. Once we mapped the options and built a step-by-step plan, she shifted from anxiety and frustration to clarity, control, and confidence to move forward. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter documents or “tick-the-box” compliance. My approach is people-first, commercially grounded, and practical, so you can manage risk while also running and growing your business. If You’re Ready to Strengthen Your Business… Let’s talk if you want to: ✔ Feel confident your HR systems and operations can withstand audit scrutiny ✔ Reduce the mental bandwidth spent worrying about compliance ✔ Build a stable, capable team that supports sustainable growth ✔ Have an HR partner who brings both strategic insight and hands-on support Send me a message through the Upwork platform and let’s discuss your goals and challenges.
