Ex-JPMorgan & Macquarie | Financial Modeling for Capital Raises

I build the financial model that survives investor scrutiny. The one your equity partner, lender, or investment committee get comfort from. Fifteen years in institutional finance and a hand in $5.4B of closed transactions taught me one thing: a raise lives or dies on whether the numbers hold up in the data room. That's the model I build for you: bank-grade rigor, delivered fast, without the bank-grade overhead. What I build • Investor-ready financial models: 3-statement, pro forma, DCF, LBO, project finance • Equity waterfalls: GP/LP splits, preferred returns, catch-ups, promotes • Debt sizing & covenant defense: DSCR, LVR, ICR, interest reserve, stress-tested to credit-committee standards • Scenario & sensitivity analysis: the downside cases investors ask about before you do • Model audits: a second set of institutional eyes on a model you already have And when the model's done and you're ready to raise, I build the materials that go around it — investor decks, information memoranda, and full go-to-market financing packages. Most clients hire me for a model and stay for the whole raise. Same discipline, any sector My deepest roots are in real estate, from single-asset developments through to institutional portfolios and multi-billion-dollar transactions. Recent engagements: • Padel & leisure club (Los Angeles) • Lithium mining project (Argentina) • Private equity fund (South America) • Commercial property syndicators (Australia) Institutional background (deals I contributed to during my banking career at J.P.

Regular updates, fast turnarounds, and a collaborative approach that treats your deal like my own.
