I am a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA®) and private-company valuation specialist. My work is built around the purpose of the assignment—tax, litigation, partner disputes, acquisitions, retirement plans, financial reporting, strategic planning, or another defined need. I help business owners, attorneys, CPAs, investors, buyers, and lenders answer a deceptively difficult question: What is this business actually worth—and can the conclusion be defended? Over the past 15+ years, I have analyzed thousands of privately held small and midsize businesses, including complex assignments requiring judgment, financial normalization, and reconciliation of multiple valuation approaches. My principal focus is CERTIFIED BUSINESS VALUATION I am a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA®) through NACVA, Business Certified Appraiser (BCA®), and Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraiser (CMEA®), with an M.S. in Applied Economics from Johns Hopkins University and an M.S. in Finance from George Washington University. There is no one-size-fits-all valuation report. Scope depends on the purpose, standard of value, valuation date, ownership interest, evidence, and intended user. The deliverable may be a valuation memo, calculation, or full narrative report. I prepare valuations for: 🤝 Partner Buyouts & Shareholder Disputes — buyouts, minority interests, buy-sell agreements, and disputed ownership interests. 🧾 Estate, Gift & Tax Valuation — estate tax, gift tax, IRS Fair Market Value (FMV), Revenue Ruling 59-60, ownership transfers, and tax-reporting valuations. 🏛️ ROBS, 401(k) & Retirement-Plan Valuation — ROBS employer stock, annual/termination valuations, distributions, and self-directed IRA interests. 👥 ESOP & Employee Ownership Valuation — employer-stock and employee-ownership valuation. ⚖️ Litigation & Economic Damages — litigation business valuation, lost profits, economic damages, business divorce, and personal vs. enterprise goodwill. 🏦 Acquisition, SBA & Exit Valuation — acquisition valuation, SBA 7(a), succession planning, exit planning, and transaction support. 🚀 Startup, IRC 409A & Intangible Asset Valuation — startup/pre-revenue valuation, IRC 409A, intellectual property, goodwill, and promissory notes. 📊 Financial Reporting Valuation — ASC 805 purchase price allocation, ASC 820 fair value, ASC 350 goodwill impairment, and ASC 718 stock-compensation valuation. 🚚 Machinery & Equipment Valuation — desktop appraisal of machinery, vehicles, and equipment. COMPLEX VALUATION ASSIGNMENTS I specialize in assignments requiring judgment, reconstruction, and multiple layers of analysis: 📉 Inconsistent, Declining, or Limited Profitability 🧮 Complex EBITDA, SDE & Owner-Compensation Normalization 📊 Minority & Noncontrolling Interests | DLOC & DLOM 👤 Personal vs. Enterprise Goodwill & Key-Person Risk 🔗 Related-Party Transactions & Multi-Entity Structures ⚠️ Distressed Businesses or Unusual Debt & Capital Structures 🏭 Machinery, Equipment, IP & Other Intangible Assets ⚖️ Tax & Litigation Valuations with Complex or Unclear Financials A valuation should not be a spreadsheet that produces a number. It should explain the economics, assumptions, valuation approaches, and why the conclusion is reasonable. For disputed or high-scrutiny assignments, I clearly document the evidence, adjustments, and reasoning so sophisticated readers can follow the analysis. WHAT AN UPWORK CLIENT SAID “He understands business valuation forwards and backwards…” — IRS-Compliant Business Valuation Client REAL-WORLD TRANSACTION EXPERIENCE My perspective is not purely academic. I have personally invested in, operated, acquired, and sold private businesses—and I have made and lost money doing it. That experience changed how I evaluate sustainable earnings, add-backs, working capital, capital expenditures, concentration risk, debt service, and valuation assumptions. QUALITY OF EARNINGS & M&A DUE DILIGENCE Valuation is my primary focus, but I also assist buyers and investors with: 🧮 Quality of Earnings — reconstruct sustainable EBITDA/SDE and evaluate seller adjustments. 💵 Proof of Cash — compare reported revenue with deposits and cash activity. 🔄 Working Capital — estimate normalized operating working capital and a defensible working-capital peg. 🏦 SBA & Acquisition Analysis — evaluate debt-service coverage, financing structure, seller notes, equity requirements, and acquisition risk. FIXED-FEE VALUATION ENGAGEMENTS Most valuation reports are quoted on a fixed-fee basis. After a brief scope review, I provide a defined scope, professional fee, and delivery timeline before work begins. If you need a valuation for a specific purpose—even if it is not listed above—send me the assignment, intended use, and deadline. I can recommend the appropriate valuation scope and report type.

Financial modeling and valuation for founders who need investor-ready numbers. I build 3-statement models, financial projections, and pitch deck financials that survive due diligence — not spreadsheets that break the first time someone changes an assumption. Over the past 5 years I've built financial models for startups raising pre-seed through Series A, e-commerce and SaaS businesses that needed to understand their unit economics, agencies tracking cash against a pipeline, and real estate sponsors underwriting deals. Every model I deliver is fully linked, driver-based, and documented well enough that you can defend any number in it on a live investor call. WHAT I BUILD • 3-statement financial models — integrated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow, monthly detail with annual roll-ups • Startup fundraising models — pre-seed to Series A projections, cap table and SAFE/convertible note modeling, runway and burn analysis • Business valuation — DCF, comparable company and precedent transaction analysis with a defensible WACC build-up • Pitch deck financials — the financial slides investors actually interrogate, tied directly to the model behind them • SaaS & e-commerce unit economics — MRR, churn, cohorts, CAC, LTV, contribution margin by channel • Real estate & project finance — development pro formas, debt schedules, equity waterfalls, IRR and equity multiple • Scenario & sensitivity analysis — base, upside and downside cases on clean data tables, so you answer "what if" in the meeting instead of after it • Budgets, rolling forecasts & KPI dashboards — monthly reporting packs with variance analysis TOOLS Advanced Excel (Power Query, dynamic arrays, data tables), Google Sheets, Power BI, QuickBooks Online, Xero, PowerPoint. CREDENTIALS CFA Level II Candidate, ACCA Part Qualified, and Bachelor's in Accounting and Finance. I build to corporate finance standards: no hardcoded numbers buried in formulas, colour-coded inputs, a single documented assumptions sheet, and a model any other analyst can pick up and follow. HOW I WORK 1. A short call or written brief, so I understand the business and not just the spreadsheet 2. An assumptions sheet sent for your sign-off before I build anything 3. Draft model delivered with a walkthrough video 4. Two rounds of revisions included 5. You receive the working file — unlocked, unprotected, fully editable, and yours to keep I reply within an hour during 9 AM to 12 AM EST , and I'll tell you straight if your project isn't a fit for me. If you're raising, budgeting, or trying to work out where the cash actually goes — send me a message describing what you're working on. I'll reply with exactly what I'd build, what it costs, and how long it takes.

What does a Pro Forma Statements freelancer do?

A pro forma statements freelancer builds forecast financial models that project future income, balance sheets, and cash flows based on documented assumptions. This work supports business planning, fundraising efforts, and transaction analysis by translating operational hypotheses into structured financial data. The specialist links historical performance with forward-looking scenarios to produce investor-ready reports. Clients rely on these projections to evaluate potential outcomes before committing resources or capital.

  • Constructs detailed spreadsheet models that connect revenue drivers, expense structures, and capital requirements to generate projected financial results. The freelancer maps out how specific business decisions impact the bottom line over time.
  • Prepares complete pro forma financial statements including the projected income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. These documents follow standard accounting formats to ensure clarity for stakeholders and investors reviewing the financial health of the venture.
  • Documents the basis of assumptions and calculation logic for every line item in the forecast. This transparency allows clients to adjust variables and understand the sensitivity of the projections to changes in market conditions or operational performance.

How to hire a Pro Forma Statements freelancer on Upwork

Step 1: Post a job

Define your forecasting needs clearly to attract qualified candidates. Use the Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI to draft a precise description. Describe your requirements in a few sentences and Uma drafts a job post for the role. You can write a new post, update a saved draft, or reuse an existing post.

  • Specify whether you need projected income statements, balance sheets, or cash flow forecasts for fundraising or internal planning.
  • List the specific assumptions and historical data points the freelancer must use to build accurate financial models.
  • State if you require documented calculation bases and supporting notes alongside the final pro forma outputs.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Look for portfolios that demonstrate clear linkage between assumptions and projected financial outcomes. Uma can run instant video interviews and build shortlists with side-by-side comparisons to help you assess fit.

  • Review samples of pro forma financial statements to verify they include all three core reports: income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow.
  • Check that previous work includes detailed notes explaining the basis for each projection and assumption used in the model.
  • Confirm the candidate has experience generating investor-ready reporting formats suitable for transaction analysis or capital raises.

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Discuss how candidates structure their financial models and validate their input data. Schedule and conduct interviews within Upwork Messages with an immediate transcript and summary after each one.

  • Ask how they collect and verify historical performance data before creating linked spreadsheet projections.
  • Request examples of how they document complex assumptions for stakeholders who may not have financial backgrounds.
  • Clarify their process for updating models when transaction details or scenario inputs change during the project.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Set clear milestones for model creation, statement generation, and final review. Use Upwork Messages and the contract workroom for communication and project management, plus identity verification, payment protection, hourly tracking, and project funds for security.

  • Define deliverables as specific pro forma financial statements accompanied by a separate document detailing all calculation bases.
  • Establish a timeline for collecting initial inputs, building the spreadsheet model, and producing the first draft of projections.
  • Agree on a revision process to adjust assumptions and regenerate outputs before finalizing the investor-ready report.
