Hire the Best Financial Plans Professionals

With 350+ 5-star client reviews, I am proud to serve a growing client list here on Upwork. As an experienced business and corporate attorney, I provide end-to-end legal support; handling everything from day-to-day contract management to complex transactions, governance, and compliance. Many of my clients treat me as their on-demand legal department. I draft, review, and negotiate all key agreements, guide leadership through business restructuring, oversee equity and financing documents, and help ensure corporate formalities are observed. Whether you’re a startup, established company, or investor, I deliver practical legal solutions that protect your interests and support sustainable growth. Building on years of experience working with entrepreneurs and Fortune 500 companies alike, I’ve earned a strong reputation for simplifying complex legal issues and turning them into clear, actionable agreements. From Nondisclosure Agreements and Master Service Agreements to Employment and Independent Contractor Agreements, I help clients avoid risk, stay compliant, and move deals forward efficiently. I also assist with Privacy Policies, Terms & Conditions, and compliance programs—keeping businesses aligned with evolving privacy and data protection laws across multiple jurisdictions. Beyond contracts, I advise on entity formation, ownership structure, capital contributions, and internal governance. This includes drafting operating and shareholder agreements, implementing compliance frameworks, and providing ongoing guidance on employment, IP, and commercial matters. I also offer a flat-fee AI Contract Review & Rewrite service for clients who start with ChatGPT or LegalZoom templates. These drafts often miss key provisions or state-specific compliance requirements. I transform them into enforceable, attorney-grade agreements tailored to your goals. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: "We had the pleasure of working with Austin on the development of our franchise agreement.

I am a qualified ACMA and senior Finance Leader with over 20 years of experience as Financial & Business Controller at KSB Pumps Company Limited Pakistan — a subsidiary of KSB AG Germany, a EUR 2.7 billion global engineering MNC. I have personally managed a PKR 6.5 billion revenue business, led a PKR 2 billion capital raising exercise, managed PKR 4 billion in banking facilities, and delivered Board-level financial strategy throughout my corporate career.

I hold the ACMA qualification from ICMAP Pakistan — the direct equivalent of CMA — and bring strong SAP FI/CO, Oracle Financials, and advanced Excel capabilities across complex financial environments. Message me before placing an order — I want to understand your business and objectives first to ensure the final deliverable is exactly what you need.

Founders bring me in when a meaningful decision is approaching and the numbers are not yet ready. That usually means one of five things: ▶ a capital raise is coming ▶ debt or lender conversations need stronger support ▶ cash visibility is weak ▶ the forecast cannot be trusted ▶ investor, buyer, or diligence scrutiny is getting closer I work with founder-led companies that need decision-grade finance, not bookkeeping-only support. My core engagements include: 🔹 CFO Reviewed Financials™ A structured financial diagnostic that identifies the most important reporting, margin, liquidity, and control issues affecting decision quality. 🔹 CFO Reviewed Financial Model™ A diligence-grade review of an existing model to pressure-test assumptions, logic integrity, capital needs, and investor-readiness. 🔹 Comprehensive Financial Model™ A dynamic, driver-based model built for fundraising, debt, hiring decisions, expansion planning, or exit preparation. 🔹 Investor-Ready / Lender-Ready / Buyer-Ready Sprints Structured, time-boxed engagements for companies preparing for investor conversations, lender or credit discussions, buyer diligence, or exit-readiness planning. 🔹 Ongoing CFO Advisory Financial leadership for founders who need stronger forecasting, KPI discipline, reporting cadence, and strategic finance judgment. Published rate reflects initial advisory and diagnostic work. Larger readiness, modeling, and CFO engagements are scoped separately based on decision context, complexity, and timeline. Selected outcomes include: ✔ $29.3M raised across four VC rounds ✔ $20M expansion funding secured ✔ support for a $22.0M acquisition completed ahead of plan ✔ a $5M telehealth startup sale ✔ a turnaround from a $1.5M loss to a $0.5M profit I am a fit when the business has a real financial decision in front of it. I am not the right fit for bookkeeping-only, tax-return-only, or cosmetic spreadsheet work. If you are preparing for capital, debt, diligence, cash restructuring, or a strategic exit, send a message with the decision you need to make and the timeline you are working against.
