I build the financial model that survives investor scrutiny. The one your equity partner, lender, or investment committee get comfort from.
Fifteen years in institutional finance and a hand in $5.4B of closed transactions taught me one thing: a raise lives or dies on whether the numbers hold up in the data room. That's the model I build for you: bank-grade rigor, delivered fast, without the bank-grade overhead.
What I build
• Investor-ready financial models: 3-statement, pro forma, DCF, LBO, project finance
• Equity waterfalls: GP/LP splits, preferred returns, catch-ups, promotes
• Debt sizing & covenant defense: DSCR, LVR, ICR, interest reserve, stress-tested to credit-committee standards
• Scenario & sensitivity analysis: the downside cases investors ask about before you do
• Model audits: a second set of institutional eyes on a model you already have
And when the model's done and you're ready to raise, I build the materials that go around it — investor decks, information memoranda, and full go-to-market financing packages. Most clients hire me for a model and stay for the whole raise.
Same discipline, any sector
My deepest roots are in real estate, from single-asset developments through to institutional portfolios and multi-billion-dollar transactions. Recent engagements:
• Padel & leisure club (Los Angeles)
• Lithium mining project (Argentina)
• Private equity fund (South America)
• Commercial property syndicators (Australia)
Institutional background (deals I contributed to during my banking career at J.P. Morgan & Macquarie):
• Boral - US$2.6B acquisition of Headwaters Inc.
• Charter Hall - A$350M institutional placement
• Qantas Airways - A$1.36B institutional placement
• Sydney Airport - A$1.4B senior secured facility
• Sonic Healthcare - A$540M acquisition of Aurora Diagnostics
How I work
You'll never wonder where I am. Regular updates, fast turnarounds, and a collaborative approach that treats your deal like my own.
If you need a sharp, investor-ready model or an honest second opinion on one you've already built, please send me a message and tell me about your raise.
