I'm the opposite. I come from Big Four-style audit at BDO, where I reviewed the real financials of banks, microfinance institutions, and hydroelectric projects before I ever built a pitch deck. That means when your numbers hit an investor's or SBA underwriter's desk, they hold up. No inflated TAM. No fantasy hockey stick. No revenue model that breaks under the first question. โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” WHAT I BUILD โ†’ Investor Pitch Decks โ€” 10โ€“20 slides, written and designed from scratch, structured around what VCs and angels actually decide on (problem fit, market size, unit economics, traction, the ask). โ†’ Business Plans โ€” 25โ€“40 page investor-grade plans for startups, SBA 7(a) / 504 / EIDL loan applications, and immigration (E-2, EB-5). โ†’ Financial Models โ€” 3 to 5-year projections with revenue build, cost structure, cap table, DCF valuation, scenario analysis, and break-even. Excel-native, fully linked, audit-proof. โ†’ Investor One-Pagers & Teasers โ€” the document that opens doors before the full deck gets opened. โ†’ Business Valuations โ€” DCF, comparable transactions, revenue and EBITDA multiples, for fundraising, M&A, or exit planning. โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” RECENT OUTCOMES - $3.5M bank loan approved for a luxury pet resort โ€” full business plan, financial model, and pitch deck built from zero. - $450K SBA loan approved in 17 days. - $1.2M angel round closed for a pre-revenue SaaS startup. - 200+ projects delivered across the US, UK, Germany, Singapore, and the GCC. โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” WHO I WORK WITH BEST - Founders raising pre-seed to Series A ($100K โ€“ $5M rounds) - Small business owners applying for SBA, EIDL, or term loans - Operators preparing for acquisition, exit, or strategic sale - Immigration applicants needing E-2 / EB-5 business plans If you have a messy idea and no documents, I build from zero.

Most pitch decks fail because the narrative and the numbers donโ€™t align โ€” and investors see it immediately. Most freelancers fix either the visuals or the spreadsheets. I bridge both, building financial models and pitch decks designed to withstand investor and lender scrutiny. 11+ years across Big 4 (KPMG), Fitch Group, and banking roles โ€” helping founders raise capital with clear, structured, investor-ready financial narratives and defensible numbers. I work with startups, SaaS companies, and growth-stage businesses preparing for fundraising, investor discussions, or internal planning โ€” where financial clarity and structure matter.

How to Hire Top Financial Projection Specialists

How to hire financial projection specialists

Financial projection plays an important role in business planning and accounting. Whether you need help forecasting cash flows, expense budgets, or sales, financial projection specialists are here to help. 

So how do you hire financial projection specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top financial projection specialists on Upwork.

How to shortlist financial projection professionals

As youโ€™re browsing available financial projection consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a financial projection specialist who understands the nuances of making financial predictions in your industry. 
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., creating an expense budget for a construction project).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what itโ€™s like to work with a particular financial projection specialist.

How to write an effective financial projection job post

With a clear picture of your ideal financial projection specialist in mind, itโ€™s time to write that job post. Although you donโ€™t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for an independent contractor to know if theyโ€™re the right fit for the project. 

An effective financial projection job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From forecasting budgets to sales, list all the deliverables youโ€™ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or accounting tools, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
