Top Rated Preferred Freelancer 🏆 Founder 🏆 and $50 Million Raised Every successful business starts with a strong foundation, that foundation includes a strong financial roadmap and the right financial analyst to conduct financial modeling. Whether it’s to apply for funding, a government grant, financials for your business plan or to foresee the financial future and performance of your business idea. There are many reasons why businesses succeed but without a properly constructed financial plan that prepares you for the unforeseen, the chances for success go down significantly. That’s exactly where I come in. I’ve helped Helped many business clients like, Zicaro Ventures start a new FinTech Company called Blue Sage Financial . Deal Leaders Africa with a successful merger that earned them over R20m; Financial Modeling and Financial Analysis for First Avenue Investment Management to identify great stock opportunities. I have vast exposure working with several international clients since I started freelancing on Upwork. Accounting Services & Start-up Consulting services include: ✅ Excel Robust Forecasted Financial Modelling and Valuation ✅ QuickBooks, Sage, Zero Bank Reconciliation, accounts ✅ Business Strategy and Project Management ✅ Plans and Pitch Deck slides ✅ Economic and Company research evaluation ✅ Market research and DATA Entry ✅ Feasibility Study ✅ M&A Financial Modelling ✅ Grant Writing ✅ Trend Analysis and Strategy ✅ Due Diligence Sounds like a great fit? Message me and let’s work together to bring your ideal to reality! 🚀 Your Financial Analyst. Sandile N.

Grant Narrative

I would not recommend!!!! You will never hear from her even if you send messages and her green light (chat). It took couple days for her to respond. After a couple days the excuse was internet was out. Setup for disappointment.

Tech Consultancy Business & Operational Plan

The business plan provided was very thorough and covered the brief provided. It took a bit longer than anticipated however that was mostly due to us needed additional information tailored to our business rather than generic. Went above and beyond to add last minute branding to the slides which was not expected. Thanks for establishing this base business plan it will help into the future.
