Pawel K.
Fractional CFO | Financial Modeling, Valuation & FP&A | Ex-PwC, ACCA
Fractional CFO and financial modeling specialist. Former PwC Transaction Services (Big 4). Chartered Certified Accountant (ACCA — the UK equivalent of the US CPA). I build board-ready financial models, 13-week cash flow forecasts, valuations and M&A due diligence packages for mid-market companies and private equity portfolio businesses, including portfolio companies of KKR and Bridgepoint. Most companies don't need another spreadsheet. They need a financial engine that keeps working as the business scales — clean data, defensible logic, and numbers a board, a lender or an acquirer will accept without rebuilding them first. WHAT I DO Financial modeling and valuation Three-statement integrated models, multi-currency rolling forecasts, budgeting and scenario planning, company valuation, cash flow analysis, IFRS 9 impairment. Built to survive due diligence, not just to look right. Fractional CFO and advisory Commercially grounded guidance on capital deployment, margin and unit economics, working capital, and build-vs-buy decisions. I've run my own P&Ls, so I read a model against operational reality rather than arithmetic alone. Finance systems and transformation The link between finance and IT. ERP implementations (Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, NetSuite), chart of accounts and reporting design, data migration and reconciliation, BI dashboards (Power BI, Tableau), month-end acceleration. I make sure the system serves decisions rather than just collecting data. M&A and due diligence Buy-side and sell-side financial due diligence, acquisition valuation, debt financing analysis, post-deal integration of finance processes. WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME Big 4 method. ACCA-qualified with PwC Transaction Services training — standardised, documented, audit-ready work. Senior throughout. You work with me, not a junior team. 2,400+ hours delivered on Upwork at 100% Job Success, Expert-Vetted. Both sides of the line. Finance and systems stopped being separate disciplines a long time ago. Most of what I'm called in for sits exactly where they meet — a model nobody trusts, an ERP rollout with no finance voice in the room, a close that takes three weeks longer than it should. HOW I WORK I focus on substantial, longer-term engagements and fractional leadership rather than task-based support. I work remotely and asynchronously with clients across Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. If you're not sure whether your problem is a modeling problem or a systems problem, send me the detail — telling you which it is costs you nothing.
