You don’t need another lecture about budgeting. You need a financial system that helps life feel less mentally cluttered. Many of the people I work with are earning a decent income, managing careers, families, businesses, or freelance work, and simply no longer have the time or mental energy to keep staying on top of every moving piece of their finances. The problem usually isn’t income. It’s complexity, inconsistency, and financial decisions that never quite feel organised. The service that I offer helps with the following: • stops you from avoiding your finances • reduce decision fatigue • create systems • you feel mentally lighter • make clearer financial choices • regain a sense of control I’m a financial coach with over 20 years of accounting experience, and I work with professionals and freelancers who want more clarity, structure, and confidence in their personal finances. Together we simplify the moving parts: • budgeting and cash flow • debt reduction planning • spending patterns and financial habits • savings goals and financial priorities • financial organisation and accountability • creating practical systems that are easy to maintain My approach is practical, calm, and personalised to real life. No shame. No extreme budgeting methods. No complicated financial jargon. Just clear guidance that helps you feel more in control of your money and less mentally weighed down by it. Because financial wellbeing is not only about numbers. It’s also about having the headspace to focus on the rest of your life. If you’re looking for practical financial support from someone who understands both the numbers and the human side of money, I’d be happy to chat. RemotaniaTribe

I've spent over a decade as a finance executive and advisor helping founders, investors, and boards prepare for raises, close transactions, and make better decisions. I've done this across 50+ engagements as a partner at a multinational advisory firm, as a CFO at two VC-backed companies, and as a director on multiple boards. I hold a CFA charter and an MBA from INSEAD. I raised a $2m seed round from Kleiner Perkins for Vylo, where I built the model and deck from scratch. I led the $75m initial capitalisation of iflix, a regional streaming platform backed by family offices and PE. I supported the carve-out and listing of EcoCash, a fintech with a market cap of $500m. I structured and led the sale of an FMCG firm at 67x EBITDA after turning it from loss to profit. Most recently, I was the commercial advisor on the $500m secondary sale of a global services company, driving all finance workstreams including investor materials and positioning. I build financial models, pitch decks, investor presentations, cap tables, valuations, and due diligence reports. I work in Excel, Powerpoint, Google Sheets, Quickbooks, Xero, and Carta, and I'm comfortable across three-statement models, DCFs, LBOs, waterfall analyses, and scenario planning. If you need senior finance thinking with hands-on execution, I'd welcome the chance to connect.
