Arif A.

Need a finance professional who can build a solid model, pressure-test a valuation, or turn messy data into an investor-ready story? You are in the right place. I am Arif, a Financial Modeling and Valuation specialist with around 4 years of buy-side, sell-side, and corporate development experience. I currently work as a Strategy and Corporate Development Analyst at CareCloud, Inc. (NASDAQ: CCLD), where I lead M&A target screening, valuation, and board-level strategic analysis. Before that, I was a Strategy Analyst at Savills (global real estate advisory) and a Global Equities Associate at Vitality Capital, covering US healthcare technology. On Upwork, I help founders, investors, PE and VC funds, and operators with work that actually moves the needle: - Financial Modeling: three-statement models, DCF, LBO, M&A and accretion/dilution, real estate models, revenue build-outs, scenario and sensitivity analysis - Valuation: DCF, trading comps, precedent transactions, sum-of-the-parts, private company and startup valuation - Equity and Investment Research: initiation reports, earnings updates, industry deep dives, thesis memos, stock pitches - Pitch Decks and Investor Materials: fundraising decks, information memorandums (CIM/IM), non-deal roadshow decks, board presentations - M&A and Corporate Strategy: target screening, due diligence support, market sizing, competitive benchmarking Why clients keep coming back: - Institutional-grade output, the same quality standards used at a Nasdaq-listed company and a global advisory firm - Sector depth in Healthcare Technology, SaaS, Real Estate, and Consumer - Clear, decision-ready deliverables with no filler - Bloomberg Market Concepts certified, BS in Accounting and Finance from IBA Karachi (top-ranked business school in Pakistan) Recent Upwork engagements include a multi-year retainer as a Financial Research Analyst with Zacks (5.0 stars), a detailed Saudi Arabian IPO initiation report on Fourth Milling Company, a CareCloud non-deal roadshow deck, a Tesla financial model, and ongoing public-company analysis work. Tools I use daily: Microsoft Excel (advanced), PowerPoint, Bloomberg Terminal, Capital IQ, PitchBook, FactSet, and Refinitiv. If you have a model that needs fixing, a deck that needs sharpening, or a company you need to value, send me a quick brief and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right fit. I usually respond within a few hours.
