Custom services on a per-hour or per-project basis for complex financial modeling needs. I've built custom models for hundreds of clients since 2005 across a wide range of businesses, from ecommerce, SaaS, advertising, digital media, content, media, retail, gaming, in-app businesses, investment funds, and more, varying from pre-Seed, Seed and Series A funded startups to mature multi-million dollar businesses.

“Anyone can toss together a quick and careless excel spreadsheet but what is it really worth if it doesn't truly tell the story of the business? Taylor took the time to understand the ins and outs of our business and helped build a flexible model that made sense. His guidance and work helped secure us a loan from the bank (who thought it was one of the best models they've ever seen).”

How I'll Help

I do 50-100 custom projects for clients a year, generally consisting of growth and revenue model customization in the Foresight templates and custom services for more complex financial modeling needs. This could include:

The default revenue model in the Standard Model works for a wide variety of businesses, but in some cases a better approach is to replace the revenue structure with a fresh revenue model built from the ground up, allowing us to build the growth and revenue mechanics cleanly for your business. The Bring Your Own Model functionality in the Standard Model makes it easy and cost-effective to build a custom revenue model with minimal work required to integrated it into the financial core (financial statements, summary, key reports, cap table, valuation, and more).

If the Standard Model is not a fit, I've built custom models for hundreds of clients since 2005 across a wide range of businesses, from ecommerce, SaaS, advertising, digital media, content, media, retail, gaming, in-app businesses, investment funds, and more, varying from pre-Seed, Seed and Series A funded startups to mature multi-million dollar businesses.

Most custom revenue model projects are 3 to 6 hours, and priced as a per-hour or fixed price.

For select clients, I accept equity or post-money SAFEs as compensation. Contact me to discuss.

Taylor Davidson, Founder, Foresight

I created the financial models behind Foresight so early-stage entrepreneurs can spend less time on finance and more time on their products. I care about financial modeling because I believe that financial models can help us make critical business decisions even if the models themselves are not “always right”. Financial models can help even the earliest entrepreneurs if we build “minimum viable models” to focus on the decisions that matter most.
