About me
I work where financial thinking meets the way a business actually runs.
My background spans 15 years in banking, finance, and business systems, including systems work in large international companies. It taught me to 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.
Whether you’re testing an idea, planning growth, or improving how things work, I start with the question you need to answer.
How I can help
Strategy. Numbers. Systems. Connected.Senior financial thinking and hands-on delivery, shaped around what your business needs next.
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.
For founders who need senior financial input and a more consistent planning rhythm.
Discuss CFO supportTurn 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.
For a launch, a funding discussion, an expansion decision, or a model that needs rebuilding.
Discuss a financial modelBring 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.
For turning an idea into a workable plan or explaining the next stage of an existing business.
Talk through your business planReduce the repeated work between a data source and a useful financial answer. I help map the workflow, connect inputs, and introduce checks, so reporting becomes easier to maintain and your team can spend more time understanding the result.
For teams spending too much time copying, reconciling, and rebuilding the same reports.
