An Accountant with over 16 years of extensive experience which encompasses bookkeeping, budgeting, forecasting, financial statement reporting, and analysis of financial reports for strategic planning.

Top Rated | Top 10% of Talent Need a Financial Model or Business Valuation Model in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets? You’re in the right place. I build investor-ready Excel and Google Sheets models that are clean, auditable, and easy to update. Typical deliverables include 3-statement forecasts, proformas, cash runway, cap tables, IRR and returns analysis, and dashboards. You will get a clear Inputs tab, zero hard-coded outputs, and built-in checks. I also help clients turn messy financial, operational, or ledger-based data into structured models that support fundraising, lending, budgeting, acquisitions, and business decision-making. I focus on delivering strong value to my clients by preparing easy-to-follow, investor-ready financial models across diverse industries. My work is especially valuable when a model needs to be tailored to the real business, clearly explained to non-finance stakeholders, and built in a way that can stand up to investor, lender, or management review. My models do not only calculate, they communicate. As a financial modelling expert with over 14 years of experience working with start-ups and established businesses, I have worked in: - Financial modeling - Pro forma modeling - 3-statement modeling - Valuation modeling - Scenario analysis - Budgeting - Forecasting - Investment presentations - Pitch deck presentations - Financial model repair and audit - Cash flow forecasting - Dashboard and KPI reporting - Sensitivity and scenario testing Throughout my journey as a financial modeler, I have honed my skills by developing advanced techniques such as cohort modeling to provide effective solutions for my clients. I also work on improving existing models by fixing broken logic, cleaning formula structures, linking accounting data properly, and making models easier to maintain over time. My real estate financial models include joint venture GP and LP waterfall structures, including solutions for IRR hurdles, preferred returns, and equity splits. I have worked on commercial real estate, multifamily, buy-hold-sell, buy-construct-hold-sell, buy-refinance-sell, and real estate rental projects. I also build and repair acquisition, development, debt, and returns models used for investor and lender review. On the other hand, my Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) financial models include 3-, 5-, or 10-year forecasts with bottom-up integration of pricing strategies, retention rates, fixed and variable costs, Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), and ultimately a full 3-statement financial model. These models help founders understand runway, growth assumptions, fundraising needs, and operating leverage. I enjoy tackling financial modeling assignments across industries, as my experience spans diverse sectors ranging from power plant projects and recruitment agencies to product-as-a-service businesses, healthcare, hospitality, construction, and more. I am particularly useful where the work goes beyond a template and requires business understanding, custom structure, and clear financial logic. My work style is to first fully understand the business concept and then custom-build the model best suited to that business. Where useful, I may use modern tools to improve speed, but every model is structured, reviewed, and logic-checked carefully so the final output is reliable, professional, and commercially usable. Please feel free to send me a message with your brief or idea, and we can start from there.

Most finance systems don't fail because of bad data. They fail because the people building them don't understand what the numbers actually mean — and the accountants reviewing them can't read the logic underneath. I sit in the gap. Nine years as a senior finance professional — group reporting, IFRS, multi-entity consolidation — and now working directly with development teams to architect and audit the functional logic inside ERP systems and AI-driven accounting modules. The experience: * Monstarlab — managed reconciliation across 48 global ledgers during a Tokyo Stock Exchange listing * Respiro AS (Norway) — collaborating with developers to audit and validate accounting logic inside AI-driven automation systems * I speak CFO in the morning and Dev in the afternoon. Nothing gets lost in translation What I solve: * ERP logic architecture — implementation and review for NetSuite, Odoo, ERPNext, Tripletex, and Xero * AI module auditing — catching financial logic errors in automated bookkeeping before they become compliance liabilities * Nordic localization — VAT mapping, SAF-T compliance, and ERP workflows for international firms entering Finland or Norway * Startup systems design — building audit-ready charts of accounts and IFRS-aligned reporting structures from the ground up Based in Lahti, Finland. I work remotely across GMT/EEST time zones and only take on projects where I can deliver properly.
