If you're a founder preparing for a raise, an operator running scenario planning, or a deal team underwriting an acquisition, you already know the model has to be right. Imprecise assumptions and poorly structured outputs don't just slow things down, they cost you credibility at the worst possible moment. I build financial models that founders can put in front of investors, operators can make real decisions from, and deal teams can defend in a room. Every model is assumption-driven, stress-tested, and built so you can update inputs and see the impact instantly without touching a formula. WHAT I BUILD: - Startup and growth models for seed through Series B raises - 3-statement integrated financial models and forecasts - Acquisition and buy-side underwriting models - Unit economics, cohort analysis, and LTV:CAC modeling - Rolling forecasts and cash runway models - KPI dashboards and executive reporting WHO I WORK WITH: Founders preparing for investor conversations, operators running growth and scenario planning, CFOs needing overflow modeling support, and deal teams underwriting acquisitions. I've supported numerous businesses across a wide range of industries but primarily specialize in AI, SaaS, D2C, services, and franchise verticals. HOW I WORK: I operate like an embedded finance partner: fast-moving, strategic, and data-driven. I return clean, client-ready deliverables on a tight timeline. Most engagements are up and running within 24 hours of scope confirmation and are ready for review within 72 hours. If your model needs to hold up in front of an investor, a board, or a buyer, let's talk.

What I Do: Translate Vision into Process - I take your big-picture vision and turn it into the practical, daily systems your team needs to actually make it happen. If your backend feels like a collection of patchwork systems and your team is drowning in "where is this?" messages, you don't need another automation, you need to redesign the foundation. From what I have seen and helped with, most businesses donโ€™t have a tool problem; they have a clarity problem. I help founders and C-suite leadership teams audit their entire operational landscape and rebuild it into a lean, intuitive engine that tells you exactly what is happening in real-time. As a former COO, I architect the infrastructure that allows your business to reset and scale without adding more chaos. How I Transform Your Operations 1. The 360 Audit I dive deep into your current workflows to identify bottlenecks, redundant manual tasks, and "invisible" friction. 2. Building the Central Pillar of Your Operations I don't just build task lists; I design the pillar of your operations, a single source of truth that connects your vision to your teamโ€™s daily actions. I establish systems where your team stays aligned, leadership stays informed, and your operations run with the kind of reliability that ensures nothing slips through. 3. Leadership-Driven Systems Design A system is only as good as the teamโ€™s willingness to use it. Iโ€™ve seen countless "perfect" setups fail because they were too complex for real people. I focus on reducing cognitive load for your team, creating a cohesive structure that feels like a relief. Whether we are refining your current tools or building a new framework from scratch, I lead the transition. I work with your team to ensure the new workflows are adopted, understood, and bring clarity. Iโ€™m here to bridge the gap between your big-picture goals and the practical structure your team needs to reach them. Who I Work Best With I partner with Founders and Companies who are ready to move from "hustle mode" to "scale mode." If you want your operations to feel simple, organized, and streamlined, letโ€™s talk. Core Competencies Systems Architecture: Turning messy processes into SOP-backed workflows. Tool Integration: Seamlessly connecting with project management systems like ClickUp, Asana, Monday with Zapier, Make, and alike. Experienced in CRM tools as well. Fractional Leadership: Providing the strategic "operator" perspective to C-suite leadership team.
