I turn messy operational data into driver-based P&L models, unit economics frameworks, and board-ready forecasts you can actually run the business on - not spreadsheets that just look nice.
I am Senior Financial Analyst & Financial Modeling Expert for B2B/B2C SaaS companies with 5+ years of experience, Finance degree and 100% Job Success Score.
I work best with SaaS founders, COOs and finance leads who are:
- Preparing for a fundraising round and need investor-ready financials
- Launching a new line of business and need a standalone feasibility model
- Seeing margins slip and need to know exactly why, not just that they are
- Running the business on a spreadsheet that no longer scales
CORE FP&A & FINANCIAL MODELING SERVICES
- Financial Modeling & Forecasting: 3-to-5-year driver-based P&L, revenue, balance sheet and cash flow models with Best / Base / Conservative scenarios
- Unit Economics: LTV, CAC, LTV:CAC ratio, SaaS magic number, payback period, churn and retention modeling for SaaS and marketplace businesses
- Variance Analysis: month-over-month plan-vs-actual analysis and root cause investigation of margin and cost variances
- Feasibility Modeling: standalone P&L and breakeven analysis for a new product, market or line of business
- Data Consolidation: structuring large, messy transactional datasets into one clean, dynamic reporting model
- Fundraising Support: pitch deck financials and investor-ready metrics (ARR, CAGR, IRR, NPV)
HOW I WORK
- Discovery first: before I build anything, I map your actual business logic and unit economics - not a generic SaaS template
- Every assumption is documented and sourced - company data, market benchmark, or an explicit hypothesis - so you always know what is driving a number and can challenge it
- I reconcile every output against your source data before handoff - I would rather catch a wrong figure myself than let it sit in your board deck
- You get a model you can actually run the business on: dynamic formulas and a clear structure, not a static snapshot that breaks the moment your business changes
RECENT PORTFOLIO WORK
- TAM/SAM/SOM sizing and a 3-scenario, 5-year revenue forecast for an EdTech SaaS company (B2C)
- A dynamic 24-month P&L and unit economics model for a legal B2C SaaS marketplace
- A 12-month P&L and multi-service unit economics model across 4 service lines for a B2B MarTech company
- Month-over-month P&L variance analysis and root cause modeling for a B2B SaaS / virtual data room provider
- A 3-year P&L and new line of business feasibility model for a board management software company
- Consolidation of a 190,000-row transaction dataset spanning three business lines into one dynamic Excel model with interactive dropdown views
TOOLS: Microsoft Excel (Power Query, advanced formulas, PivotTables, dynamic dropdown-driven models) and Google Sheets.
If you need a financial analyst or financial modeling expert who can turn your numbers into a model you can actually run the business on, send a message or invite me to your job - happy to jump on a quick call to align on scope.

💼 🇨🇦 Canadian CFA Charterholder | AI-Native Fractional CFO for Startups | Runway, Fundraising, FP&A & AI Business Models | $1B+ Supported Capital Raises | Top Rated Plus
AI startups move faster than traditional finance teams can handle.
Revenue models change. Token costs fluctuate. Gross margins compress. Usage scales unpredictably. Investors ask sharper questions. Founders need more than bookkeeping, historical reporting, or another spreadsheet.
They need a CFO who understands both startup finance and the emerging economics of AI-native companies.
I’m a Canadian CFA Charterholder, Top Rated Plus Upwork fractional CFO, with Masters in AI and ML training. I help founder-led startups build finance functions that are faster, more automated, more investor-ready, and more useful for strategic decision-making.
Across my career, I’ve supported startups, growth companies, and investor-backed businesses through fundraising, liquidity pressure, board reporting, restructuring, financial modeling, and high-stakes strategic decisions. My models and finance systems have supported over $1B in capital raised across North America and Europe.
What I Help Clients Do
✅ Extend runway and control burn
13-week cash models, runway analysis, burn multiple tracking, hiring plans, downside scenarios, and survival planning.
✅ Understand AI-native economics
Token costs, compute expense, usage-based pricing, AI credits, gross margin pressure, customer profitability, cohort economics, and scalable monetization models.
✅ Build investor-grade financial models
Three-statement models, SaaS models, marketplace models, usage-based revenue models, scenario cases, board models, and fundraising forecasts.
✅ Create an AI-powered finance function
Automated reporting, KPI dashboards, variance analysis, forecasting workflows, anomaly detection, and AI-assisted CFO memos.
✅ Prepare for fundraising
Seed through Series B models, bridge rounds, down-round planning, investor decks, data rooms, board materials, diligence support, and financial narratives that withstand scrutiny.
✅ Turn finance into a decision system
Real-time dashboards, unit economics, pricing strategy, margin analysis, KPI discipline, and operating leverage planning.
Core Services
• AI-native Fractional CFO services
• Startup FP&A, budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning
• Cash flow, liquidity, and runway management
• 13-week cash flow models and crisis finance
• SaaS, marketplace, subscription, and usage-based financial models
• Token economics, compute cost, AI credit, and gross margin analysis

• Due diligence, data rooms, valuation, 409A, M&A, and special situations
Why Founders Work With Me
Most finance professionals understand accounting.
Some understand startup fundraising.
Very few understand how AI is changing the financial architecture of startups.
I combine:
• CFA-level financial rigor
• 19+ years of financial modeling and strategic finance experience
• Top Rated Plus Upwork execution across hundreds of client engagements
• AI/ML graduate training
• Hands-on CFO experience inside an AI startup
• Practical operator judgment under pressure
The result is a finance function that gives founders more clarity, more control, and better decisions — without slowing the company down.
Let’s Talk
In AI startups, finance cannot be slow, backward-looking, or disconnected from the product.
Your finance function needs to understand cash, growth, pricing, compute costs, investor expectations, and strategic risk — all at the same time.
Send me a brief, and I’ll help you build a finance function that is investor-ready, AI-aware, automated, and designed for the next stage of growth.
