I help founders and small business owners tell their story compellingly and get it funded. Most consultants do one or the other. I do both — and the combination is what makes the difference between work that goes nowhere and a funded deal that moves your business forward. What I bring that most freelancers can't: I've been the banker. I was a C-suite banker and led one of the top SBA lending operations in my state, which means I know exactly how underwriters think, what kills a deal before it starts, and how to position your business for approval. I've also been the founder — three times — and led due diligence for one of the largest angel syndicates in the US. I currently led the GTM strategies for a $12B company. I know what investors and lenders want to see because I've been on both sides of the table. Today I run Parabolic, a capital and go-to-market advisory practice helping businesses access debt and equity capital and launch market dominating products through top-notch GTM strategies. What I deliver: Documentation - Lender-ready business plans built around how banks actually underwrite - Investor pitch decks that lead with what capital allocators care about - SBA loan packaging and deal structuring for 7(a) and 504 programs - Financial projections that hold up under scrutiny - Executive summaries and investor memorandums for equity raises - Go-to-Market audits and actionable playbooks Capital Advisory - SBA 7(a) and 504 deal origination and placement - Commercial loan brokering and lender matching - Equity raise strategy and investor positioning for growth-stage founders - Debt structuring and lender negotiation - I have a network of over 200+ investors and lenders GTM Advisory - Market sizing and segmentation (TAM/SAM/SOM analysis) - Ideal customer profile (ICP) definition and buyer persona development - Competitive landscape mapping and differentiation strategy - Product-market fit validation and messaging frameworks - Pricing and packaging strategy Who I work with: Small business owners who need SBA financing. Founders preparing for a debt or equity capital raise. Growth-stage businesses that need someone who has done this before, not someone figuring it out alongside them. Why clients come back: I work fast, I think at the executive level, and I don't pad engagements. You get the thinking you need, documentation that performs, and where relevant, the capital relationship that closes the deal. If you are looking to grow, need a funded business, and not just a finished document — let's talk.

How to Hire Top Financial Projection Specialists

How to hire financial projection specialists

Financial projection plays an important role in business planning and accounting. Whether you need help forecasting cash flows, expense budgets, or sales, financial projection specialists are here to help. 

So how do you hire financial projection specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top financial projection specialists on Upwork.

How to shortlist financial projection professionals

As you’re browsing available financial projection consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a financial projection specialist who understands the nuances of making financial predictions in your industry. 
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., creating an expense budget for a construction project).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular financial projection specialist.

How to write an effective financial projection job post

With a clear picture of your ideal financial projection specialist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for an independent contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective financial projection job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From forecasting budgets to sales, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or accounting tools, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
