Hey There! I am an experienced Business / Finance professional born and raised in Sydney, Australia. I'm tertiary qualified having received a Bachelor of Business Majoring in Finance. I've worked with world renowned companies earning +$100 million in revenue per year and have helped Private Equity businesses to produce quality Business Modeling & Business Analysis. You probably have a great idea for your business and have the drive that's required to make it successful - but do you really understand all the intricate parts that go into properly planning and running a business? Here's the thing: No one can be an expert at everything, running and growing a business takes multiple different skill sets that are just impossible for one person to know. Whether it's Financial Modeling, Market Research, Business Writing or Financial Projection, the skills required to prepare your business for success are intricate and hard to come by. Benjamin Franklin once said "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”, and if there's one person you should listen to it's probably Benjamin Franklin. Are you confident that you - all by yourself - have the skills to make your business successful? Do you understand proper Business Planning & Strategy? Okay! Think of me as your guiding light! Don’t just take my word for it, take a look at my glowing reviews below from my past clients on Upwork. Whether you need Venture Capital Consulting, Startup Consulting or just a Researcher to help better understand the market, reach out to me today and let's have a quick call about your business or project!
