Mani R.
Financial Modeling & Valuation Expert | DCF, M&A | Fractional CFO
Financial models and valuations that hold up when an investor, buyer or board starts asking questions. Top Rated with 100% Job Success. Since 2024 I have worked with 30+ clients, built 50+ financial models and 20+ investor and business decks, and supported $20M+ in capital-related work. I'm Mani Rastogi, founder of Vibgyor Fintech. Founders and investors usually hire me when a number has to be defended, not just calculated. WHAT I DO MOST • Financial models Integrated 3-statement models, SaaS and marketplace models, cash flow and runway forecasts, scenario and sensitivity analysis. Driver-based and formula-driven, so you can change an assumption and explain the result. No black boxes. • Valuation DCF, trading and transaction comps, startup and pre-revenue valuation, option pricing and lattice models for complex instruments, cap table and dilution analysis. • M&A and transaction support Information memorandums, databooks with projections, LBO and deal models, and independent review of a model before it goes to the other side. • Fractional CFO and FP&A Monthly reporting, budget vs actuals, cash planning and investor updates for founders who need a finance lead without a full-time hire. RECENT WORK • A lattice model in Excel to value a complex financial instrument on a tight deadline • An independent valuation for a social marketplace startup • A startup model for a multi-entity business sharing one commercial property • SPV-level project finance models for renewable energy funds • Business plans and information memorandums for company sales to private equity buyers Sectors I know best: SaaS, fintech, AdTech, renewable energy, e-commerce and healthcare. One thing to know upfront: I don't introduce investors. My job is to make sure your numbers hold up when they look. Send me what you have, even if it is a rough spreadsheet, and I'll tell you what it needs, how long it takes and what it costs.
