Most founders I talk to don't have a "finance problem." They have a clarity problem. The numbers are somewhere — in spreadsheets, in the accountant's reports, in their head — but nobody's pulling it all together into something they can actually decide from.
That's where I come in.
I'm Salah, and finance has been my world for the last 10 years. I currently lead Group FP&A for a holding company with five businesses across Saudi Arabia and Egypt — consulting firms, tech companies, the works. Every month, I'm the person the executives turn to when they need to know what's really going on, what to do about it, and what it means for next quarter.
On Upwork, I do the same thing for founders and SMEs who don't have a senior finance person yet — but need one.
Here's what that usually looks like:
You hand me a messy folder of bank statements, invoices, and half-finished spreadsheets — and a few weeks later you've got a financial model you can show investors, a forecast you actually trust, or a dashboard that tells you what's working before it's too late to fix.
Some of the things I've built recently:
A scenario model for a holding group — the kind of file where you change one assumption and watch three years of P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow update across seven tabs.
A live financial dashboard that pulls together five different entities into one view, so the leadership team stops arguing about whose numbers are right.
A three-statement model with over 2,300 linked formulas — every line traceable, every total reconciled. The kind of file an investor's analyst can't poke holes in.
What I actually help with:
Building budgets and rolling forecasts that don't fall apart in month two. Putting together fundraising models that hold up under investor scrutiny. Setting up dashboards in Excel, Power BI, or custom HTML when off-the-shelf tools don't cut it. Cleaning up the chart of accounts before it becomes a real problem. And often — just being the senior finance brain a founder can call when they need to think something through.
A few honest things about working with me:
I'm not the cheapest finance freelancer on Upwork, and I won't pretend to be. But I do this work at a senior level every day in my full-time role, so you're getting the same quality of thinking your investors expect — without paying for a full-time CFO.
I work in English and Arabic. I know the GCC market. I respond quickly, and if I think a project isn't a good fit for me, I'll tell you straight rather than waste your time.
If you've got a model that needs building, a forecast that needs fixing, or you just want a senior finance person to look at your numbers and tell you what they actually mean — send me a message. Tell me what you're working on. I'll let you know honestly whether I'm the right person and how I'd tackle it.
