I have built, valued, and modeled over 1,000 companies across all 50 US states, every Canadian province, and 50+ countries. CFA charterholder. 10 published books, all rated 5.0 on Amazon. $200K+ earned on Upwork with 100% Job Success. Top Rated Plus. Ranked #1 Financial Modeling in Canada and #2 Investment Banking globally on Upwork. When a founder sends me their financial model, I already know the three questions their investors will ask, because I spent years reviewing deals from the investor side as a fund fiduciary. That perspective separates my work from everyone else in your inbox. I wrote 10 books on this. Literally. My Amazon series, A Founder's Conversations with a Fractional CFO, covers every financial decision a founder faces: CFO Versus Accountant, Pitch Decks, 409A Valuations, Financial Modeling, Business Plans, KPIs and Dashboards, Private Company Stock Options, Fundraising Mechanics, Real Estate Financial Modeling, and SBA Loans. WHAT I DELIVER: Financial Modeling: Three-statement models, revenue models, SaaS models, startup financial projections, scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, unit economics, breakeven analysis, cash flow forecasting, pro forma financials, budget models, and investor-ready models built in Excel. Published on Bloomberg, Reuters, FactSet, and S&P Global terminals. Business Valuations: DCF analysis, comparable company analysis, precedent transactions, startup valuations, fair market value, certified business valuations, and 409A valuations for fundraising, M&A, tax compliance, equity compensation, and internal planning. Business Plans: Investor business plans, SBA lender business plans, immigration business plans (EB-2, EB-5, USCIS), startup plans, feasibility studies, market analysis, competitive analysis, go-to-market strategy, and executive summaries for banks, investors, and regulatory bodies. Pitch Decks: Seed decks, Series A decks, fundraising decks, investor presentations, and data room preparation. Helped raise hundreds of millions in capital across angel, seed, Series A, and Series B rounds. Cap Tables and Equity: Cap table modeling, stock option plans (ISOs, NSOs, RSAs), SAFE and convertible note modeling, option pool sizing, dilution analysis, waterfall analysis, pre-money and post-money calculations, vesting schedules, 83(b) elections, and 409A compliance. Fundraising: Term sheet analysis, SAFE structuring, convertible note terms, liquidation preferences, closing mechanics, investor negotiation, due diligence preparation, and capital raising advisory from pre-seed through Series B. Fractional CFO: Financial strategy, KPI dashboards, OKR tracking, board reporting, investor reporting, cash flow management, burn rate analysis, runway modeling, and startup growth consulting. As former CEO of SentimenTrader and founder of ExemptAnalyst (acquired by Pinnacle), I have been on your side of the table. Real Estate Financial Modeling: Acquisition models, development pro formas, NOI and cap rate analysis, rent roll analysis, construction draws, lease-up modeling, waterfall distributions, LP/GP splits, DSCR, and sensitivity analysis for commercial, multifamily, and value-add deals. SBA Loans: SBA 7(a) and 504 loan modeling, lender packages, debt service coverage, seller note structuring, business acquisition models, and goodwill analysis. Due Diligence and Investment Banking: M&A due diligence, credit analysis, investment memos, structured finance, SPV structuring, and institutional-grade research. Ghostwriting: 10 published books on Amazon (all 5.0). Available for personal finance and business book ghostwriting. BACKGROUND: 25+ years in capital markets. Former CEO of SentimenTrader. Founded ExemptAnalyst (largest private research firm in Canada, acquired by Pinnacle). Director at Eiffel Peak Capital. MD at Pinnacle Wealth Brokers. VP at IA Clarington. Advised on $79M Wes-tower acquisition. Co-Host of The Dales Report (40K YouTube). Finance Instructor, University of Toronto. CFA, CFP, CIM, FCSI Fellow. My schedule fills up fast.
