💡 Financial models and dashboards that your team will actually use
I'm Majid, Lead Consultant at Innopher - a financial planning consultancy with 15 years of experience across financial modeling, FP&A, and enterprise planning platforms.

Behind every project is a team: solution architects and model builders who've worked on implementations for aviation, medical devices, manufacturing, SaaS and energy companies. You get the output of a consultancy at the pace of a freelancer.
What we typically deliver: 3-statement models and DCF valuations for fundraising. Driver-based FP&A models and rolling forecasts. Power BI dashboards connected to NetSuite, Salesforce or QuickBooks.

I have built, valued, and modeled over 1,000 companies across all 50 US states, every Canadian province, and 50+ countries. CFA charterholder. 10 published books, all rated 5.0 on Amazon. $300K+ earned on Upwork with 100% Job Success. Top Rated Plus. Ranked top 10 globally on Upwork for Fractional CFO, Valuations, Financial Models, Business Plans, and Pitch Decks.
When a founder sends me their financial model, I already know the three questions their investors will ask, because I spent years reviewing deals from the investor side as a fund fiduciary. That perspective separates my work from everyone else in your inbox.
I wrote 10 books on this. Literally. My Amazon series, A Founder's Conversations with a Fractional CFO, covers every financial decision a founder faces: CFO Versus Accountant, Pitch Decks, 409A Valuations, Financial Modeling, Business Plans, KPIs and Dashboards, Private Company Stock Options, Fundraising Mechanics, Real Estate Financial Modeling, and SBA Loans.
WHAT I DELIVER:
Financial Modeling: Three-statement models, revenue models, SaaS models, startup financial projections, scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, unit economics, breakeven analysis, cash flow forecasting, pro forma financials, budget models, and investor-ready models built in Excel. Published on Bloomberg, Reuters, FactSet, and S&P Global terminals.
Business Valuations: DCF analysis, comparable company analysis, precedent transactions, startup valuations, fair market value, certified business valuations, and 409A valuations for fundraising, M&A, tax compliance, equity compensation, and internal planning.
Business Plans: Investor business plans, SBA lender business plans, immigration business plans (EB-2, EB-5, USCIS), startup plans, feasibility studies, market analysis, competitive analysis, go-to-market strategy, and executive summaries for banks, investors, and regulatory bodies.
Pitch Decks: Seed decks, Series A decks, fundraising decks, investor presentations, and data room preparation. Helped raise hundreds of millions in capital across angel, seed, Series A, and Series B rounds.
Cap Tables and Equity: Cap table modeling, stock option plans (ISOs, NSOs, RSAs), SAFE and convertible note modeling, option pool sizing, dilution analysis, waterfall analysis, pre-money and post-money calculations, vesting schedules, 83(b) elections, and 409A compliance.
Fundraising: Term sheet analysis, SAFE structuring, convertible note terms, liquidation preferences, closing mechanics, investor negotiation, due diligence preparation, and capital raising advisory from pre-seed through Series B.
Fractional CFO: Financial strategy, KPI dashboards, OKR tracking, board reporting, investor reporting, cash flow management, burn rate analysis, runway modeling, and startup growth consulting. As former CEO of SentimenTrader and founder of ExemptAnalyst (acquired by Pinnacle), I have been on your side of the table.
Real Estate Financial Modeling: Acquisition models, development pro formas, NOI and cap rate analysis, rent roll analysis, construction draws, lease-up modeling, waterfall distributions, LP/GP splits, DSCR, and sensitivity analysis for commercial, multifamily, and value-add deals.
SBA Loans: SBA 7(a) and 504 loan modeling, lender packages, debt service coverage, seller note structuring, business acquisition models, and goodwill analysis.
Due Diligence and Investment Banking: M&A due diligence, credit analysis, investment memos, structured finance, SPV structuring, and institutional-grade research.
Ghostwriting: 10 published books on Amazon (all 5.0). Available for personal finance and business book ghostwriting.
BACKGROUND: 25+ years in capital markets. Former CEO of SentimenTrader. Founded ExemptAnalyst (largest private research firm in Canada, acquired by Pinnacle). Director at Eiffel Peak Capital. MD at Pinnacle Wealth Brokers. VP at IA Clarington. Advised on $79M Wes-tower acquisition. Co-Host of The Dales Report (40K YouTube). Finance Instructor, University of Toronto. CFA, CFP, CIM, FCSI Fellow.

How to Hire Top Financial Planners
How to hire financial planners
Financial planners can help you pursue capital investment projects, set budgets, pay off debts, and manage your risk.
So how do you hire financial planners? What follows are some tips for finding top financial planners on Upwork.
How to shortlist financial planning professionals
As you’re browsing available financial planning consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
Industry fit. You want a financial planner who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target market.
Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., managing a real estate investment portfolio).
Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular financial planner.
How to write an effective financial planning job post
With a clear picture of your ideal financial planner in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
An effective financial planning job post should include:
Scope of work: From drafting financial plans to administering investment advice, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, assets, or financial tools, mention this here.
Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
Financial planning is the practice of formally defining an individual or corporation’s current financial status, their financial goals, and a plan of action for achieving those goals.

Why do you want to hire financial planners?
The trick to finding top financial planners is to identify your needs. Do you need help planning for retirement via 401(k)s, IRAs, and other investments? Or do you require a certified public accountant to help you draft a formal financial plan for your business? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a financial planner?
Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.
An experienced financial planner may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their financial planning services more competitively.
Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
