I build financial projections that get SBA loans approved. I spent 12 years on the lender side of the desk, where my team closed 1,500+ SBA loans, and today I run ProjectionHub, where we build the financial projections and business plans that underwriters say yes to.

โ 1,500+ SBA loans closed during my 12 years running an SBA lending program โ Grew a small business loan fund from $100K to more than $50M lent โ 1,000+ custom financial models and financial projections delivered since 2012 โ 50,000+ founders have used ProjectionHub's financial projection templates and tools โ Clients approved for millions in SBA 7(a) and SBA 504 financing
โญ Here is what a recent Upwork client said: "We found Adam, and what a blessing it was! He went WAY above and beyond our expectations. The lender we are working with was blown away at the critical information they received from us, which allowed our process to progress easily and much faster." (Curtis S., SBA loan financial projections)
๐ฆ ๐๐ท๐ ๐ป๐ด๐ฝ๐ณ๐ด๐๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ด๐
Most financial projections fail at the bank for one reason: they were built by someone who has never read a projection the way an underwriter reads one. I have. I approved and declined SBA loan applications for over a decade, so every financial projection I build starts from the question the lender will actually ask: does the cash flow cover the debt? That means DSCR, break-even, and coverage ratios are not an afterthought in my financial projections. They are the spine.
ProjectionHub is also the company behind 100+ CPA-developed, industry-specific financial projection templates, so your financial projections start from proven revenue logic for your industry, not a blank spreadsheet. We have built financial models across healthcare, construction, real estate, e-commerce, SaaS, retail, restaurants, and franchises.

Founders applying for SBA loans, buyers acquiring a business with SBA or bank financing, startups preparing investor-grade financial projections, and existing businesses expanding with new debt. If your deal needs financial projections a credit committee will trust, that is my lane.

3. Unlimited revisions to your financial projections based on lender or investor feedback
4. When useful, a direct introduction to 1-2 SBA lenders who fit your deal

๐ง๐ผ๐ฝ ๐ญ%; ๐ง๐ผ๐ฝ ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฃ๐น๐๐ โ | Ex-JPMorgan | CFA | $1BN+ raised by my models | 99% JSS | $600k total earnings
I work with funded startups, growth-stage companies, and established businesses on the financial infrastructure that drives decisions: investor-ready models, board reporting, scenario analysis, valuation, and ongoing FP&A. My clients have raised over $1BN in debt and equity using models I built, from seed rounds through Series B, including a unicorn and multiple $100M+ ARR businesses.
I keep a small client base by design. The best results I've delivered have come from relationships where I have real context on the business, not one-off projects. I'm the person you call before a board meeting, during a fundraise, when an acquisition lands on your desk, or when you just need someone who understands your numbers as well as you do.
Financial Modeling: A model is only as good as the understanding behind it. I build FP&A models with a deep focus on usability, auditability, and, increasingly, AI integration. The goal is a financial source of truth that different teams across the business can actually work from.
Transaction Advisory: Extensive private equity and M&A experience across hundreds of millions of dollars of transactions. LBO models, waterfall structures, complex valuations, diligence-ready outputs. When the model is the deal, the details matter, and that's where the investment banking training shows up.
Send over a deck, a business plan, or just describe what you're working on. I'll scope it same day.
