Developed financial projections for a café seeking investment, including revenue forecasts, expense budgets, cash flow projections, and profitability analysis. The model outlined funding needs and helped the owner present the café’s financial potential to investors. Developed financial projections to support the client’s capital-raising efforts. Analyzed QuickBooks Online and Xero data, identified business trends, and built forecasting assumptions. Deliverables included monthly revenue and expense projections, financial statements, an amortization schedule, and a dashboard summarizing key financial metrics. Developed a comprehensive financial model for a Shopify e-commerce business, using historical performance to build projections and assess future profitability. The model included sensitivity and scenario analyses to show how changes in key assumptions could affect revenue, expenses, and financial results.
I also created a dashboard that consolidated key financial performance indicators, giving the client a clear view of business trends. Together, the model and dashboard helped the client evaluate growth scenarios and make informed planning decisions. The client hired me as a Financial controller and needed me to manage bookkeeping and develop Dashboards so that he can understand financial performance and how the contractors he hired will affect the future revenue. I worked for the business for 8 months and develop different projections and scenarios for him to understand the impact of changing revenue on the fixed and variable expenses of the business. This project was to understand what expenses should the business decrease to be viable with the changing business revenue.
