I build monthly, annual, and 5-year models covering NOI, cash flow, IRR, and total profit โ€” plus scenario testing to stress-test your assumptions before committing capital. โžก๏ธ Real Estate Valuations: Get a defensible, market-based valuation of any income-producing property or business โ€” useful for acquisitions, sales, financing, or partnership decisions. โžก๏ธ Capital Raising Strategy: Find the right capital source and get approved. I build the financial projections lenders and investors need, and help you navigate equity, debt, and hybrid structures to secure the best terms. FRACTIONAL CFO SERVICES โžก๏ธ Cash Flow Management & Forecasting: Know where your cash is going before it becomes a problem. Weekly, monthly, or quarterly models that surface trends early and keep your business running without surprises. โžก๏ธ Monthly Financial & KPI Review: A monthly deep-dive into your numbers โ€” what is working, what is not, and what to do about it. Includes a standing call to discuss results and adjust strategy in real time. โžก๏ธ Budget & Forecasting: Build a 12-month or 5-year financial roadmap with projected revenue, expenses, and cash flow โ€” so you are running toward a clear plan instead of reacting to what comes at you. M&A & STRATEGY โžก๏ธ Business M&A: Whether you are buying, selling, or merging, I help you structure the deal, assess the financials, and negotiate terms that protect your interests and maximize value. โžก๏ธ Consulting: One-time or ongoing sessions drawing on 30 years of real estate, finance, and business operations. Practical advice built on experience โ€” not theory. โœ… ๐—ง๐—ผ ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ, please ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฒ or ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—บ๐˜† ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ผ, where I explain my background and what services I offer.
