## About

I help founders connect financial strategy, practical models, and smarter systems to make better business decisions.

My background spans 15 years in banking, finance, and business systems, including systems work in large international companies. I look beyond a single spreadsheet at the assumptions, the people, and the processes behind it.

As a co-founder of FinModelsLab, I help turn financial research and planning ideas into useful products. My work also extends to digital platforms, operations, and making complex information easier to use.

My focus is practical Finance AI: reporting, analysis, data preparation, and repeatable workflows, with validation and human review built in.

## Services

### Finance AI & automation

Apply AI to the finance work that slows your team down. I help connect source data, automate recurring reporting, and build AI-assisted analysis workflows with validation and human review built in.

- Connect spreadsheets and finance systems, with data validation and reconciliation checks
- Automate management reports and dashboards, with AI-drafted variance commentary for review
- Build AI-assisted research, model checks, and document-to-data workflows with source references
- Define review steps, exception handling, and a documented handover for your team

For finance teams and founders who want more reliable reporting and analysis with less repetitive manual work.

### Fractional CFO & FP&A

Make financial information useful between reporting deadlines. I help founders understand cash, set priorities, and see whether the business is performing as planned. We connect the forecast with the decisions on hiring, spending, financing, and growth.

- Cash forecasts and a clear view of runway and funding needs
- Budgets, rolling forecasts, and actual-versus-plan reporting
- Management dashboards, operating KPIs, and decision support

For founders who need senior financial input and a more consistent planning rhythm.

### Financial modeling

Turn the way your business operates into a financial picture you can question and update. Start with the drivers of sales, costs, investment, and working capital, then see how they affect profitability, cash, and the funding required to deliver the plan.

- Revenue and cost schedules linked to financial statements
- Base, upside, and downside cases with visible assumptions
- Funding, valuation, and sensitivity analysis, with an editable handover

For a launch, a funding discussion, an expansion decision, or a model that needs rebuilding.

### Business planning & consulting

Bring the commercial idea and its financial case into a coherent plan. I work through the customer, market, operating requirements, and economics with you, so the written story and the numbers support the same objective.

- Market and business-model research tied to the project brief
- Operating plans, unit economics, launch costs, and funding requirements
- A structured business plan and supporting material for partners, lenders, or investors

For turning an idea into a workable plan or explaining the next stage of an existing business.
