Financial Modeling I build investor-grade 3-statement models from scratch for your business.

I've built models for 1,000+ companies across virtually every industry, with particular expertise in lending, SaaS, ecommerce, logistics, and energy, AI has changed financial modeling in two important ways. It has made it effortless to spin up amateur models, and it has made high-quality models even more valuable by expanding what they can do. A model built from the ground up to be operated by AI agents is the best of both worlds: institutional-grade structure, optimized for scale, user-friendliness, and auditability, with an architecture that lets tools like Claude and ChatGPT in Excel update data, run scenarios, and make changes reliably. My models are built to leverage AI agents and serve as a "financial operating system" for your business that is easily actualized with current data and adapted as your needs evolve.

So how do you hire financial projection specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top financial projection specialists on Upwork.

How to shortlist financial projection professionals

As you’re browsing available financial projection 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:

  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., creating an expense budget for a construction project).
  • 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 projection specialist.

How to write an effective financial projection job post

  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or accounting tools, mention this here.
