ABOUT ME: I work with founders and investors on the analysis and materials behind funding, growth and acquisition decisions: a financial model with explainable assumptions, a pitch deck with a clear investment story, a realistic business plan, and valuation work supported by financial analysis. My background combines operational CFO and FP&A leadership with hands-on financial modeling and consulting. For startups, an engagement often begins with a financial model and expands into pro forma projections, unit economics, scenario planning, cash flow forecasting and funding requirements. I also develop investor presentations, business plans, market research, teasers and offering materials, and support investor sourcing, outreach and fundraising execution. For investors, funds and acquirers, I focus on investment analysis, buy-side modeling, LBO analysis, deal valuation, equity research and financial due diligence support. This includes reviewing forecasts, challenging growth and margin assumptions, testing financing structures, and checking whether the numbers in an investment memo, investor deck or data room are consistent. For operating businesses, I provide fractional CFO and FP&A support: budgeting, rolling forecasts, 13-week cash flow planning, management reporting and budget-versus-actual analysis. I help translate performance changes into updated forecasts and decisions about hiring, spending, pricing and expansion. The common thread is connecting the operating business to its financial outcomes. That can mean a SaaS subscription model, a marketplace revenue forecast, a real estate acquisition analysis or a manufacturing expansion plan. Revenue drivers, capacity, costs, working capital and financing need to work together in one coherent model. I work in Excel, Google Sheets and PowerPoint. Deliverables are editable, with clear assumptions, transparent calculations and a walkthrough. Scope and milestones are agreed upfront. When a project includes a financial model, pitch deck, business plan and valuation, I align the figures and assumptions across the materials. Clients bring me in to build a new model, review or rebuild an existing forecast, prepare for investor discussions, evaluate an acquisition or establish ongoing financial planning. Share your business overview, existing materials and deadline so we can define the right scope.

I help early-stage founders get funded and build repeatable growth that attracts serious investment. As a 3× founder and Revenue Leader, I run an accelerator backed by VCs in the US and Europe, helping startups raise early-stage rounds, refine their story, and prove commercial traction. I’ve worked with founders across both continents to bridge the gap between strategy, execution, and capital. What that means for you: -You’ll access investor networks and accelerators across the US, UK, and EU. -You’ll position your company and deck to win investor confidence. -You’ll validate demand and prove traction before the round - not after. -You’ll build a repeatable GTM system that drives growth and credibility. -You’ll raise faster — with structure, momentum, and clarity. New to Upwork, but not to getting founders funded and growing. Check me out on LI: /tobylyons
