      Finance is hard. I make it easy. Succinct P&L, Cash Flow, Balance Sheet, and Exit Valuation financial model engineering is even harder. I make it fun. After reviewing hundreds of startup and established business plans and pitch decks, awarding company investment funding between $5K to $500K, as well as analyzing hundreds of financial models across nearly every industry, in addition to creating numerous award-winning comprehensive financial models, I’ve unlocked what it takes for students, entrepreneurs, CEOs and CFOs to optimize their financial forecast decision-making and win.I’ve developed a program of critical business performance analysis/insights, spreadsheet models, and easy to understand consultation that provides the logic behind driver-based financial modeling from startup or current state, all the way through company valuation and exit. Depending on goals, budget, and timeline, financial model assets provided (which span 1-5 years forecasting) can be turn key for plug and play to enable immediate use, or completely customized over a wider time horizon.Examples of successful outcomes:*$2MM capital investment raise by a Boston Private Equity firm*EV startup company launch *Social Media investment optimization for a nationally expanding fashion company*Financial Model training workshop for ScratchPad Accelerator cohort companies*Top 3 Finalist in Babson College MBA Capstone Business & Financial Model Competition*1st Place Win & $10K prize in Student Business Plan CompetitionApplied Experience:*Babson College Alumni Supporting Entrepreneurs (BASE) advising dozens of multi-national cos*Libra Future Fund Board of Directors Trustee awarding financing to over 50 startups*Maine Technology Institute (MTI) Technology sector Review Board awarding over $1MM in financing *MTI Maine Entrepreneurial Resource Corps (MERC) financial modeling consultantEmail at sreeves4@alum.babson.edu to learn more or book a financial modeling project engagement Show less
