Your financials
shouldn't just hold up
Let them close the deal

I've been on your side of the table. I know what investors look for, what kills deals, and how to build the financial story that gets you to close.

Timing

When you need this

PRE-SEED & SEED

Early-Stage Seed Round

Even pre-revenue, the structure and story of your financials signals how seriously to take you. I build the model, sharpen the assumptions, and make sure your numbers tell a story investors can believe in.

SERIES A / B

Raising a Series A or B

Institutional investors will run a full financial audit. Your model needs to be bulletproof. I build it from the ground up, stress-test every assumption, and prepare you for every question they'll throw at the numbers.

DUE DILIGENCE

Investor Due Diligence Request

You've got a term sheet. Now they want to dig in. I'll have your data room organised, your numbers documented, and your team prepared before the first request lands.

M&A

PE or Strategic Acquisition

Acquirers find every gap. One inconsistency can kill the deal or crater the valuation. I make sure your financials are airtight and your story holds up under the hardest scrutiny.

Deliverables

Exactly what you need

Investor Data Room

Organized, indexed, and version-controlled so every document is where investors expect it. Ready to share in one link the moment they ask.

Financial Model

A full 3-statement model built around your business, with base, bull, and bear scenarios. Designed to answer investor questions before they ask them.

Investor Presentation

A pitch deck and management presentation that puts the right narrative behind the numbers. Built to move investors from interested to ready to commit.

Financial Due Diligence

Buy-side and sell-side support through the full diligence process. I know what investors and acquirers look for, and I make sure nothing catches you off guard.

Process

Know your readiness score before investors do

The first thing I do is assess where you stand. Most companies are surprised by how many gaps they have, and how quickly we can close them.
