Experienced professionals to help you with financial models, business plans, pitch decks, and more.
In addition to the financial modeling templates, I provide custom services on a per-project and per-hour basis; I typically work in-depth with 50-100 clients a year, and 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.
Of course, I'm not always a fit for what a company needs, so I am building a base of experienced professionals to recommend to potential clients for financial models, business plans, pitch decks, valuations, and more.
When am I not a fit? I focus on modeling for startups and venture funds, building company proforma financials, modeling investment strategies, cap table scenario planning, and forecasting investor returns. I do not work with many mature or late-stage companies, on leveraged buyouts, consolidation strategies, or investment structures typical for late-stage private equity, real estate, or hedge funds. I work on a lot of short-term projects with clients on a one-off and repeating basis, I do not generally take long-term projects, part-time CFO, or retainer-style enagements.

I am a certified FullStack Modeler and certified Advanced Financial Modeler. I've been on a financial modeling journey since 2010. It all started while I was working in Investment Banking. From there, I progressed to building models for countless distressed investment opportunities at a Private Equity firm during multiple acquisitions and turnaround management scenarios. I eventually ventured off on my own to start up businesses and raised over $1M in funding as an Entrepreneur. Today, I'm helping with a Venture Building company fundraise, deal structures, and consulting on their startup investments. I am interested to provide financial modeling services where I can apply my skills to help businesses make informed decisions and achieve their goals.

Through this work, I've experienced a broad range of industries, including food and beverage, software, cryptocurrency, AI, manufacturing, social media, life sciences, and agriculture. Prior to my consulting work, I worked as an early member of the strategic finance teams at both One Medical Group and Eventbrite. I spent a great deal of time building and planning forecast models to support the long-term direction of these high growth companies as well as custom models directed towards specific initiatives and business problems. I know that building trust with senior leadership is key and I’ve built influence with key decision makers by deploying data to help inform compelling stories. I enjoy working with business owners and would love to help them identify key business drivers and levers, model potential business plans and long-term scenarios and manage cash-flow.

Entrepreneur and educator, having helped start and grow several venture-backed EdTech companies and currently serving as Program Director for [Accelerator], where I run the accelerator and incubator programs and teach entrepreneurship.
