I help SaaS and eCommerce / Print-on-Demand businesses increase margin, improve cash predictability, and scale finance operations without building a full internal team.
Over the last 10+ years, I’ve supported companies (i.e. Gooten Inc, HypeAuditor, Fourthwall Inc) from early stage to $40M+ annual revenue, working primarily with US-based companies and US GAAP environments. My approach combines Strategic Finance, FP&A, RevOps, and Accounting into one practical execution framework.
What I can do for you (typical outcomes):
📈 Pricing & Margin Optimization
Pricing models, rebate and referral programs, margin guardrails, SKU/module pricing, sensitivity and scenario modeling
📊 Unit Economics & GTM Analytics
CAC/LTV cohorts, churn drivers, funnel KPIs, marketing spend efficiency, executive dashboards
⚙️ Finance Ops & Automation
NetSuite / QBO workflows, billing and revenue reconciliation, collections process, fast close design, SOP creation and rollout
🔍 Cost & Vendor Reconciliation
Overcharge detection, COGS validation, carrier and payment processor reconciliations
Proof points:
✅ CAC reduced by 15% and LTV increased by 20% through KPI alignment and segmentation
✅ $120K+ annual savings achieved via OPEX optimization and vendor/COGS reconciliation
✅ Built 85+ SOPs and accelerated monthly close to ~5 business days
✅ Simplified 70K+ SKUs into ~80 pricing modules with automated margin controls
If you need a partner who can act like a Fractional CFO / COO-minded finance operator / process-led, detail-oriented, and execution-heavy / with strong US GAAP and operator-level experience, I’m a strong fit.

Financial modeling and valuation. 100+ driver-based models (DCF, multiples, 3-statement, LBO logic), built to be technically rigorous and decision-friendly. Deal contexts up to €17.5bn, including the largest European tower transaction of 2022, for funds such as Mubadala and KKR.
Fundraising and investor materials. Helped 40+ startups raise from pre-seed to mezzanine with pitch decks, business plans, market sizing and the financial story behind the ask. Incl. a $50m raise at 30%+ IRR and a €70m infrastructure raise.
Market research and due diligence. 130+ research and commercial DD projects across fintech, healthcare, pharma/biotech, logistics, ESG and FMCG, turning complex data into a clear go/no-go.
Strategy. Growth and market-entry for global players including Deutsche Telekom and Nokia, and a market-entry that became a $0.5bn-revenue business unit.
Recent engagements include sell-side materials for a defence-grade software vendor, a complete fundraise toolkit for a vertical HR SaaS (39-tab model, cohort economics, investor deck), and a valuation with SAFE raise playbook for a solar software company. Typical engagements run 1 to 6 weeks, with clear scope, fast turnaround and deliverables your investors can interrogate.
Clients hire me for structured thinking, clean models and crisp executive communication. Tell me your goal and constraints, and I'll propose the fastest path to a decision-ready deliverable.

Shopify CRO & Conversion Design | Stores That Actually Convert

Most Shopify stores don't have a traffic problem. They have a buying-experience problem.
You're paying for clicks, but visitors land, hesitate, and leave. The product's good. The traffic's fine. The store just isn't making the case fast enough to turn that visitor into a buyer.
That's the gap I close.
I'm Milan. Over the last 7 years, I've built and optimized 250+ Shopify stores, from first-time startups to 8-figure brands, and the common thread is conversion. Cleaner buying experiences, sharper product pages, landing pages that actually match the ad and move people to checkout. On one redesign that meant taking a store's conversion rate up 420%. On others it's been steadier lifts in AOV, add-to-cart, and revenue per visitor. The number depends on where you're starting. The direction doesn't.
🎯 How I think about your store
I don't redesign for "fresh." I work through four layers, on every page that matters:
1) Clarity — does a visitor instantly get the product, the value, and the next step?
2) Desire — does the page make them actually want it, not just see it?
3) Trust — are the doubts handled before they become a closed tab? Reviews, guarantees, shipping, proof.
4) Flow — is buying effortless, especially on mobile?
Most stores leak in one or two of these. Find the leak, fix the leak, and the same traffic starts converting better. That's the whole game.
🛠️ What I can help with
→ Build — new Shopify stores and full redesigns, premium theme or fully custom, built around the buying journey from day one
→ Improve — CRO audits and priority fixes, PDP and landing page rebuilds, mobile and cart-flow optimization for live stores
→ Grow — ongoing CRO and Shopify execution for brands that want the store to keep improving, not get redesigned once and left alone
I work in Shopify and Shopify Plus, design in Figma, build pages in Replo and GemPages, and handle the dev myself, so strategy, design, and implementation stay in one set of hands instead of scattered across freelancers.
📈 A few things I can back up
→ 250+ Shopify stores built and optimized
→ Conversion lifts up to 400%+ on full redesigns
→ Work across startups through 8-figure DTC brands
→ Real revenue impact, not just better-looking stores
💬 If this sounds like you, let's talk:
→ You've got traffic but conversion isn't where it should be
→ Your brand has outgrown the store selling it
→ You're spending on ads and want the landing page to finally keep up
→ You want one person who handles strategy, design, and Shopify build together
Send me a message with where your store's at and what's frustrating you. I'll tell you straight what I'd focus on first.

New to Upwork, not to HubSpot: my hourly rate is 70% discounted for my first clients while I build up testimonials.
I design the revenue systems behind B2B growth: HubSpot architecture, automation, and integrations that get sales, marketing, and finance running on one source of truth.
Before RevOps, I spent 3 years as a clinical physiologist in a cardiac OR, supporting ablations, PCI procedures, and acute MI cases where timing was never negotiable. A broken handoff there isn't a missed follow-up, it's a patient outcome. I build CRM systems to that same standard: no missed steps, no dropped handoffs.
Today I'm President & Chief Solutions Architect of Chloe Consulting, a HubSpot Solutions Partner. I stay directly involved in the architecture of every system we deliver, backed by a team of ten.
What I can help you with:
- HubSpot implementation and cleanup: pipelines, lifecycle stages, properties, permissions, reporting
- Marketing and sales automation: workflows, sequences, lead routing, lifecycle email programs
- Custom automation with n8n: when native HubSpot workflows aren't enough
- Integrations: QuickBooks, Stripe, DocuSign, Calendly, calling/SMS tools, and custom APIs
- GTM and sales process design: mapping how deals actually move, then building the CRM around it
- Healthcare and health-tech: I speak both clinical and commercial, which matters when your buyers are hospitals, clinics, or clinicians
Industries with the most depth: healthcare, SaaS/tech-enabled services, and travel & hospitality.
Good fit if:
- Your CRM has grown messy and nobody trusts the data
- Your tools don't talk to each other and your team re-keys the same information
- You're scaling and need the system to keep up with the sales process, not slow it down
Send me a message with where things break today, and I'll tell you honestly whether it's a quick fix or a rebuild.
