Hello! I am a CFA Charterholder and highly experienced former investment banker with 14 years of track record in finance, specializing in financial modeling, financial management, project finance and debt capital markets.
Throughout my career, I have advised C-suite executives on key issues, including debt/equity fundraising, mergers & acquisitions, deal structuring and loan underwriting, financial management and investor relationship, etc. My primary sector expertise includes Retail, Real Estate, Renewable Energy, SaaS, and Manufacturing.
Prior to consulting on Upwork, I served as a VP at a top investment bank in my country and as an Associate Banker covering renewable energy project finance loans at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). I started my career as a financial auditor at KPMG.
Detailed breakdown of my services:
โก๏ธ CFO Services: FP&A (budgeting, KPI dashboards, unit economics); Cash Flow Optimization (liquidity forecasting, burn rate management), and Financial Strategy (growth plans, capital allocation, and scenario testing).
โก๏ธ Real Estate: Financial models for the acquisition, development, and construction of multifamily, commercial, and mixed-use projects. These models support both equity investment decisions and debt underwriting.
โก๏ธ Project Finance: Complex modeling for the construction, financing, and operation of renewable energy projects (Solar, Wind, BESS, and Hydro). Models include multiple operating and financing scenarios to support fundraising.
โก๏ธ Company Valuation: Accurate estimation of enterprise and equity values using various methods, including Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), publicly traded comparables, and precedent transactions.
โก๏ธ Private Equity: Leveraged Buyout (LBO) models used by PE firms to evaluate acquisitions, or by sell-side management teams to estimate the maximum price a PE firm would be willing to pay.
โก๏ธ M&A Analysis: Modeling for M&A transaction evaluation. This includes consolidating financial statements, analyzing capital structure scenarios, and performing accretion/dilution analysis.

RECENT PROJECTS:
Startup Financial Models (Microsoft Excel Model, Google Sheets Model, Investment Fund Model, Startup Funding Financial Model development, Real Estate Financial Modeling, and pro forma statements); Investor Pitch Decks, PowerPoint (PPT) Investor Pitch Deck design; Company Valuation, M&A; CIMs, OMs; PitchBook Investor Research; Investor-Grade Financial Analysis and Valuation (DCF, comps...), Investor deck preparation; Commercial Real Estate Financial Analysis; Private Equity Fund Pitch Deck (LP/GP), Feasibility Study. Financial modelling (Excel/Google Sheets), dashboards, Financial Analyst service & Investor Pitch Deck preparation for M&A. Capital raise, acquisition, diligence, investor presentation prep projects.
ABOUT ME:
I work with founders and investors on the materials and analysis that matter: a financial model investors can trust, an investor pitch deck that tells the fundraise story clearly, a business plan grounded in real assumptions, and valuation work that withstands due diligence. My background combines VC and investment banking (deep financial modelling experience - Google Sheets and Excel models).
For startups, a typical engagement starts with a financial modeller work and expands into pro forma building for scenario planning, cash flow planning, financial forecasting, and financial projections. From there, the work often extends into an investor pitch deck creation (Powerpoint (PPT) investor presentation), business plan development, market research, CIM, teaser, and fundraising execution. I also provide support around financial planning, reporting, and investor readiness.
For investors and acquirers, the work is more analytical: investment analysis, financial analysis, buy-side financial modeling, financial model review, LBO analysis, equity research, deal valuation, and transaction support before capital is committed. I am often brought in to review a startup financial model, pressure-test assumptions, refine an investment memo, or evaluate whether the numbers in a pitch deck, business plan, or data room hold up under scrutiny.
The common thread is the same: financial analyst help - financial modeling, clear business plans, and financial analysis that supports better decisions. That can mean a SaaS financial model for a seed round, real estate financial modeling for a development / acquisition, a FinTech investor pitch deck for fundraising, or company valuation. I have worked across Tech, FinTech, AI, real estate, healthcare, e-commerce, renewable energy, manufacturing, and financial services.
Clients usually reach out when they need a financial modeler for a startup financial model, a pitch deck expert for an investor presentation, or support with valuation and fundraising materials before a fundraising or acquisition decision. The financial model, investor pitch deck, business plan, and valuation should support the same decision in fundraising and investor meetings.

Most Excel freelancers build pretty spreadsheets. I build financial models that hold up in investor meetings, bank submissions, and board reviews because I come from finance. IFRS audit. FP&A. Accounting. I understand P&L, cash flow, and balance sheet at a level most spreadsheet guys simply don't. Your numbers will not just look good. They will be right. And if a lender, investor, or CFO questions them, they will hold up.
