You're probably here because you need more than someone who knows where the buttons are inside GoHighLevel.
You need someone who understands how your marketing, sales, customer communication, and operations work together, and can turn them into one reliable system that helps your business capture more leads, close more deals, and operate with less manual work.
GoHighLevel isn't just another CRM. It's where your CRM, pipelines, automations, funnels, websites, calendars, email, SMS, AI, and integrations come together. When those systems aren't connected properly, leads slip through the cracks, automations fail, appointments get missed, and growth becomes harder than it should be.
That's what I build.
Whether you're moving to GoHighLevel for the first time, migrating from another platform, or improving an existing account, I design complete business systems that connect your CRM, marketing, sales, and customer communication into one streamlined platform. Instead of managing disconnected tools, you'll have a system that captures leads, automates follow-up, books appointments, nurtures prospects, tracks opportunities, and helps your team work more efficiently.
What I Build Inside GoHighLevel
✔ Scalable CRM systems with organized contacts, custom fields, tags, smart lists, pipelines, opportunities, and reporting dashboards.
✔ Workflow and marketing automation that instantly responds to leads, automates follow-up, nurtures prospects, and eliminates repetitive manual work.
✔ Complete customer journeys that connect lead capture, qualification, appointment booking, onboarding, payment collection, customer communication, review requests, and retention.
✔ High-converting websites, landing pages, sales funnels, forms, surveys, calendars, membership platforms, and online course portals that work together inside one ecosystem.
✔ AI-powered automation using GoHighLevel AI, OpenAI, Claude AI, AI chatbots, AI appointment booking, and Retell AI Voice Agents to improve response times and customer engagement.
✔ Advanced integrations with Make com, Zapier, n8n, Twilio, Stripe, LeadConnector, APIs, webhooks, Google Workspace, Meta Lead Ads, Shopify, and WordPress to automate business operations.
✔ Agency systems including Snapshots, White Label SaaS, reusable workflows, and multi-location account management that simplify client onboarding and support scalable growth.
GoHighLevel CRM Migration
Migrating to GoHighLevel shouldn't cost you your contacts, CRM structure, automations, funnels, websites, customer history, or revenue.
I help businesses migrate from HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, ClickFunnels, Kajabi, Keap, Kartra, Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Klaviyo, Systeme, WordPress, Thinkific, Teachable, ManyChat, and other platforms while preserving customer data and rebuilding business processes inside GoHighLevel.
Rather than copying your old system into a new platform, I optimize it, creating a cleaner CRM, more efficient automations, stronger customer journeys, and a system that's easier to manage and built for long-term growth.
Industries I Support
Marketing Agencies, Coaches, Consultants, SaaS Companies, Course Creators, Real Estate, Mortgage, Insurance, Healthcare, Med Spas, Dental Practices, Home Service Businesses, Local Businesses, Franchises
Why Clients Work With Me
A successful GoHighLevel implementation isn't about building a few workflows or launching a funnel.
It's about designing a complete business system where every component works together.
Before implementing anything, I review your CRM, pipelines, workflows, automations, integrations, reporting, and customer journey to identify bottlenecks, remove unnecessary manual work, and build systems that support measurable business growth.
Every workflow, trigger, form, pipeline, email, SMS campaign, AI process, integration, and automation is thoroughly tested before launch to ensure reliability, scalability, and a seamless experience for both your team and your customers.

Fractional CFO | Fundraising Advisor | VC Partner | Financial Modeling
I help founders, CEOs and business owners build investor-ready financial systems, raise capital, improve cash flow, and make better decisions using clear financial models, reporting, and strategy.
I bring 10+ years of experience as a Fractional CFO, startup founder, Chartered Accountant, former VC Partner, and World Bank startup finance advisor. I have helped companies raise $20M+ in funding, raised approximately $3M for my own company, reviewed hundreds of startup financial models and pitch decks, and worked with businesses across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Vietnam and Pakistan.
My work is hands-on, commercial and practical. I do not just build spreadsheets. I help you understand the numbers, prepare for investors, manage cash, improve margins, and make the business financially stronger.
Clients usually come to me when they need:
✅ A financial model that investors, banks or boards can actually understand
✅ A Fractional CFO who can turn messy numbers into clear decisions
✅ Fundraising support from someone who has sat on both sides of the table
✅ Investor readiness, pitch deck financials, valuation, and mock investor Q&A
✅ Monthly reporting, cash flow forecasting, board packs, and KPI dashboards
✅ Better visibility on margins, pricing, burn, runway, CAC, LTV and unit economics
✅ A finance partner who understands startups, SMEs, healthcare, SaaS, AI, marketplaces, VC and growth companies
My background highlights:
⭐ Co-founder of Metric, a finance and AI company used by 130,000+ businesses globally
⭐ Raised approximately $3M for my own company
⭐ Helped clients raise $20M+ through financial models, investor materials and fundraising strategy
⭐ Former Partner in Venture Capital, involved in startup investment decisions and portfolio support
⭐ World Bank startup ecosystem and investor readiness advisor
⭐ Conducted mock investor sessions and fundraising preparation for many startups
⭐ Worked as Fractional CFO for healthcare, healthtech, SaaS, AI, consumer and service businesses, nonprofits, accelerators and investment-backed companies
I can help with:
✔ Fractional CFO support
✔ Fundraising strategy
✔ Financial modeling
✔ Investor-ready forecasts
✔ Pitch deck financials
✔ Valuation support
✔ Startup financial models
✔ SaaS metrics and unit economics
✔ Cash flow forecasting
✔ 13-week cash flow models
✔ Budgeting and forecasting
✔ Monthly management reporting
✔ Board reporting packs
✔ Investor reporting
✔ KPI dashboards
✔ Business plan financials
✔ Scenario analysis
✔ Pricing and margin analysis
✔ Cost optimization
✔ Due diligence preparation
✔ M&A support
Fundraising and investor readiness:
I help founders prepare for real investor conversations. This includes financial models, pitch deck financials, use of funds, valuation logic, fundraising strategy, investor Q&A preparation, data room readiness, and mock investor sessions.
My background gives me a practical advantage. I have raised funding as a founder, advised companies as a Fractional CFO, trained startups through World Bank-backed programs, and evaluated companies as a VC Partner. I know what investors look for, where founders usually lose credibility, and how to make the financial story clear, defensible and compelling.
My mission:
To help founders and business owners make better financial decisions, raise capital with confidence, and build companies with stronger financial foundations.
If you need someone who can work across financial modeling, CFO support, fundraising, investor communication and business strategy, I can help.

𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗝𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗥 | Content Management, Systems Management
I’m a creative project manager with 13+ years of experience leading content operations, managing workflows, and supporting founders, CEOs, and creative teams behind the scenes. I’ve worked across industries from fashion and publishing to tech and digital marketing.
Specializing in content management and strategy, including overseeing WordPress publishing pipelines, planning editorial calendars, managing freelancers in Slack and Asana, and turning moving parts into a working system.
I'm comfortable jumping into just about any tool—Notion, Airtable, Trello, ClickUp, WordPress, you name it—and I’m always looking for smart, creative ways to simplify systems. I type 120+ WPM, pick things up fast, and genuinely enjoy helping people stay clear, focused, and ahead of schedule.
Using project management and research skills, I also work as a virtual assistant (VA) to help high-end solopreneurs and small business owners so that they can focus on growth instead of day-to-day details.
I keep it simple: Good projects. Great people. Lots of planning. Continuous workflow management.
𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛-𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗨𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗣𝗬𝗪𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥 | Copywriting, Ghostwriting
I like my copy like I like my coffee: strong, smooth, and with a little bit of bite. ☕️
I write copy that feels clean, strategic, and sharp, without sounding like a sales robot. I work with founders, creative teams, and growing brands to shape messaging that makes sense from the inside out.
That means your brand voice and story are dialed in across every touchpoint: website copy, blog posts, newsletters, email flows, LinkedIn thought leadership, professional bios, speeches, course scripts, and webinar content, internal SOPs, onboarding documents, sales decks, brand guidelines, pitch decks, product descriptions, FAQ pages, case studies, lead magnets, press releases, and investor materials.
Niche? I’ve written for healthcare, technical Saas start-ups, and other detailed industries where clarity and accuracy matter as much as tone does. I’m a strong researcher and naturally curious, which means I’m confident writing across a wide range of industries, including pet care, veterinary, dental, digital marketing, branding, fashion, forestry, fitness, coworking spaces, construction, and real estate.
𝗣𝗢𝗗𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧 | Strategy, Editing, Production, Systems, Workflow
I’m a podcast consultant and behind-the-scenes (aka ghost) producer who helps creators, coaches, brands, and entertainment pros like filmmakers, writers, performers, and comedians launch, manage, and run their shows. Bring your voice, your vision, your spark. I’ll manage the moving parts, production flow, scheduling, and freelancers, so your podcast runs like a well-oiled machine.
Specializing in full podcast workflow: launch planning, episode scheduling, guest coordination, script prep, editing, post-production, uploading, show notes, and everything in between. I also help streamline systems, build SOPs, and keep your production process organized using tools like Google Drive, Notion, Trello, Libsyn, Blubrry, and Simplecast.
As a 👻 ghost producer, I work without credit (don’t worry, I’ve got my own shows where I take the spotlight!) and focus fully on giving you a smooth, polished process that supports your voice, vision, and goals.
