Abdus Samad K.

Procurement & Cost Analyst | Real Estate | M&A Due Diligence

I’ve leveled 70+ vendor bid packages, audited 700+ service contracts, built LLM systems that cut a 3-day reporting process to 4 hours, and managed $3M+ in M&A deal flow. One client put it plainly: "Samad thinks like a business owner and exhibits the qualities of a good executive." If you need someone who doesn't just consult but actually builds the systems and executes the work — keep reading. ─── WHAT I BUILD FOR YOU ─────────────────────── ▶ M&A Due Diligence & Deal Operations Buy-side financial DD on $3M+ targets. I normalise EBITDA, model P&L volatility, build CRM pipelines in NetHunt, and turn dense CIMs into investment memos — accelerating Go/No-Go decisions from 5 days to under 24 hours. ▶ Pricing Models & Cost Systems Wholesale and volume pricing calculators, cost models, and dynamic pricing engines built in Excel and Google Sheets. Recent build: a 372-SKU pricing calculator for a luxury jewelry brand — commission-protected wholesale formulas, tiered volume pricing, and gold auto-repricing logic — resolving COGS errors and formula inconsistencies across the full dataset. ▶ AI & LLM Workflow Automation I architect modular AI skill frameworks (Claude) that automate bid leveling, vendor data normalization, SOW gap analysis, and branded executive report generation — cutting manual review time ~60% and report turnaround from days to hours. ▶ Analysis That Finds Money I don’t just organize data — I find what’s hiding in it. 15% annual savings identified on a multi-million-dollar janitorial portfolio, verified to the shift level against 10+ competing vendors. 700+ service contracts audited, reconciling contracted scope and rates against what was actually billed. ▶ Vendor Bid Leveling & Procurement 70+ competitive bid leveling engagements across 30+ service categories — HVAC, janitorial, landscaping, fire life safety, security, trash hauling, concrete, general contracting. Single sites up to multi-state portfolios of 250+ properties. RFPs, vendor sourcing, Scope of Work drafting, leveling models, contract negotiation. ▶ Operations Architecture & Workflow Automation No-code workspace builds (Monday, Asana, Jira, Procore, NetHunt) with custom automation for SLA tracking, capacity management, and cross-functional remote teams. ─── WHO I WORK WITH ──────────────────────────── Real estate asset managers and property management firms running vendor rebids. Private equity firms with active deal pipelines. Founders who need pricing that actually holds margin. Operations leaders drowning in manual processes. If you need an operator, not just an adviser — let's talk.
