Hello!
I am a financial analyst specializing in high-powered LBO models and Fractional CFO services. My primary work involves (1) developing detailed buy-side (acquisition) models and (2) managing a company's finance function via budgeting, forecasting, and strategic advisory.
I've been building LBO models for the last 8 years, constantly pushing to create the most interactive, user-friendly, and visually appealing models. My objective is to make it easier for investors and operators to decide whether to purchase a particular business and to then find a price/structure that will both manage risk and maximize returns. I have worked with family offices, private equity firms, and individual investors, primarily involving deals within the $1mm-$10mm EBITDA range.
CFO/FP&A:
Outside of transactions, I enjoy working side-by-side with business owners, navigating challenges and powering the decisions that fuel growth and efficiency. Crafting a well-formulated fiancial plan ensures that owners no longer have to fly blind and provides a comprehensive roadmap to success. I am passionate about working hand in hand with business owners to help give them better insight into performance, to identify potential weaknesses, and to map out an effective growth path.
I seek to build comprehensive 3-statement models that can accurately forecast near-term and long-term cash flows. I use this as a baseline to inform future strategy layering in strategic decision making such as:
(1) Expansion planning
(2) Growth by Acquisition
(3) Capital Planning
Finally, I integrate interactive dashboards and variance analyses into my projects to communicate performance to key stakeholders and help shape future strategy.

Most businesses don’t struggle with numbers — they struggle with decisions.
When to hire.
How fast to grow.
What they can afford to invest.
And what happens if they get it wrong.
That’s where I come in.
I work with founders as a strategic finance partner — helping them make clear, financially grounded decisions around growth, hiring, pricing, and cash.
Not more reports.
Better decisions.
I’m a Fractional CFO with 15+ years of experience supporting founder-led companies across the US and Europe. On Upwork, I’m Top Rated Plus with a 100% Job Success Score, working with businesses typically in the $1M–$20M range.
My work sits at the intersection of finance and decision-making.
💼 What This Looks Like in Practice:
✔️ Clarifying your real cash position, runway, and risk exposure
✔️ Stress-testing hiring and growth decisions before you commit
✔️ Building simple, decision-focused forecasts (not overbuilt models)
✔️ Aligning pricing, margins, and growth strategy
✔️ Bringing financial structure as your business scales
🧠 How I Work:
I work closely with founders as a thinking partner — bringing structure, challenge, and clarity to decisions that materially impact the business.
My role is to:
• Cut through noise and focus on what actually matters
• Bring financial clarity without overcomplicating
• Challenge assumptions when needed
• Help you move from reactive decisions to intentional ones
🎯 Typical Clients:
• Founder-led businesses ($1M–$20M revenue)
• Service-based or tech-enabled companies
• Teams making hiring, growth, or investment decisions
• Businesses that already have accounting, but need direction
🎓 Background:
✔️ MSc Business Analytics – University of Manchester
✔️ ACCA Qualified
✔️ FMVA® (Financial Modeling & Valuation Analyst)
✔️ CFA Level III Candidate
