Two ways I solve financial problems

Raising capital?

Investor-ready financial model in 3 days

You're preparing for Seed or Series A. Investors want 3-year projections, unit economics, scenario analysis. You don't need a full-time CFO — you need a model that survives due diligence. I deliver it in 3 business days, with every assumption sourced and documented.

Deliverables: 3-statement model · DCF valuation · scenario analysis · investor-ready documentation · walkthrough video
From €900 · 3 business days
Working harder but margins shrinking?

Find exactly where your business leaks money

You run a €3–20M business. Revenue grows but profit doesn't keep up. You suspect some products or clients are actually unprofitable — but your reports don't show it. I run a focused profitability diagnostic: in 1–3 weeks you know exactly what to fix.

Deliverables: Profitability by product/client · cost structure analysis · cash flow mapping · prioritised action plan
From €3,500 · Results in 1–3 weeks

Both paths start the same way — a free 30-minute diagnostic call.

What you actually pay for

Not hours in a spreadsheet. You pay for 25 years of knowing where to look — and what to do about it.

1

25 years of pattern recognition

Other consultants build spreadsheets. I build models informed by 25 years of seeing what works, what breaks, and what investors actually scrutinise. I've been CFO for startups, mid-size companies, and AIM-listed firms. I know what a €3M manufacturer's cost structure should look like — and I know what kills a fundraising round.

2

Both sides of the table

I've raised $12M in equity and I've evaluated investment deals. When I build your model or analyse your profitability, I stress-test it the way an investor or acquirer would. Your numbers don't just look good — they hold up under pressure.

3

AI makes it faster, not cheaper

I use AI to validate assumptions against industry benchmarks, stress-test scenarios, and automate routine analysis. This means CFO-quality output in days, not weeks. You're not paying for hours in Excel — you're paying for speed without compromising depth.

How it works

Three steps from first conversation to delivered results.

01

Free diagnostic call

30 minutes. We discuss your situation — whether you're raising a round or trying to understand your profitability. I listen, ask the right questions, and tell you honestly whether I can help.

02

Clear proposal

Within 24 hours you receive a specific scope, fixed price, and timeline. No surprises, no hourly billing traps. You decide with full information.

03

Deliverable in days

Financial model in 3 business days. Profitability diagnostic in 1–3 weeks. Full documentation, walkthrough, and 7 days of free revisions.

"Most clients say the diagnostic call alone gave them clarity — even when they didn't proceed with a paid engagement."
