𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁 & 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 trained at PwC Academy Middle East, with experience preparing materials for capital raises, strategic transactions, and board-level decisions.
If you're raising capital, pursuing an acquisition, or presenting to investors, your materials need to do more than inform - they need to convince. I help founders and executives communicate with clarity and credibility when the stakes are high.
I've supported deal communications for sovereign wealth funds (Saudi PIF), institutional asset managers (BNP Paribas, Nordea), government entities (Dubai Economy & Tourism), and growth-stage startups across the US and Europe. View my portfolio below. Let's connect.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽:
I'm Alex. Most clients come to me at a specific moment: they have a meeting coming up, a deadline approaching, and materials that don't yet match the opportunity in front of them.
Here's what I've learned after working on 100+ deals: investors and lenders aren't just evaluating your numbers. They're evaluating whether you understand your own business. The model, the deck, the business plan - these are proxies for your judgment. If the materials feel rough or the logic doesn't hold, confidence erodes before you've said a word.
I help close that gap. I take the complexity in your head and turn it into clear, structured materials that build trust on the other side of the table. Whether it's a $2M seed round or a $20M debt facility, the standard is the same: institutional quality, defensible assumptions, and a narrative that earns conviction.
My background spans institutional finance and government consulting. I left to focus on what I do best - building the financial models and investor materials that get deals across the line.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿:
- Investor pitch decks and fundraising materials
- Financial models for due diligence and valuation
- Business plans and lender-ready packages
- Board presentations and strategic analyses
- Market research and competitive positioning
𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀:
SaaS, Fintech, Real Estate, Healthcare/MedTech, Mobility, Infrastructure, Hospitality, eCommerce, Renewable Energy.
𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸:
"Working with Alex is more than just receiving a business plan - it's a comprehensive consulting experience that enhances your understanding of your business. Thanks to his exceptional work, I secured bank approval for my investment." (verifiable on my Upwork profile)
𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲:
- Materials built to institutional standards
- Clear assumptions and documentation throughout
- A walkthrough call to align on logic and narrative
- Revisions until it's right
𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱?
Send me a message with your timeline and context. I'll respond with a proposal and, where helpful, a suggested structure. Looking forward to hearing what you're working on.
Best,
Alex
PS - If you're in a niche industry or have an unconventional ask, still reach out. I've worked across enough sectors to adapt quickly.

Clients hire me when they need data analytics that answer questions like:
• Where is our profit actually coming from?
• What will revenue look like over the next 3–5 years?
• Which marketing channels or business units are driving ROI?
• How do we automate reporting so leadership sees the numbers instantly?

💬 Client Feedback (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐):
(Recent Review from E.H.)
"Subomi is the literal best, total icon!! I am genuinely grateful. I love partnering with a smart, hard, competent worker and he is just that! He is a great thought partner, beyond just someone to create models for you. I hired him for multiple projects and hired him additionally after I needed to redo work from someone who wasn't as thorough. He is extremely accurate, thorough, patient, helpful, willing to iterate, and does more than just create the models/chart/KPIs that you need - he helps you tell the story (both written and walking you through it) so you can understand all his assumptions. He makes projects better than what you would do on your own. Also, the work was so good that my bigwig private equity friend who reviewed his work was super impressed."
🌟 Let’s Build Something That Moves the Needle:
If you need clarity from complexity, confidence in your numbers, or analytics that actually influence decisions, let’s talk. I don’t just deliver outputs; I deliver understanding, alignment, and results.
