Sam S.

Fractional CFO & Financial Modeler | AI-Powered Finance Systems

Most finance help stops at the spreadsheet. I build the model, then build the system that keeps it current. I'm a finance operator with 15+ years of experience. My background includes Microsoft and a Duke degree. I've helped 100+ clients, and my work has supported $20M+ in capital raised, including an $3.5M round for a streaming platform. FINANCE (what you hire me for) - Investor-ready financial models and pitch deck content - Fractional CFO and FP&A: budgets, forecasts, cash flow, board reporting - Fundraising prep: unit economics, market sizing, use of funds AI & AUTOMATION (why it goes further) - BI dashboards that pull live from your accounting and ops data - AI tools that read contracts and documents and answer questions about them - Automated reporting and pricing calculators that replace manual spreadsheet work RESULTS - Took a solar agency from 2% to 15% net income - Cut accounts receivable 50% for an HR consultancy "He was able to see the root of the problems with my financial model that I wasn't able to see or correct. I finally feel comfortable and confident using my financial model and explaining it to potential investors." - Max Betkowski, CEO, Infraway "He educated me and provided deliverables for my investors to streamline the process and made each transaction seamless. I will continue to work with Sam going forward." - Glenise Kinard-Moore, CEO, Skii Moo Tech If you need numbers investors trust, or a finance function that runs without you chasing it, send me a message with where you are and what you're raising or fixing.
