What would it cost you to get the valuation wrong?
For a founder, it could mean giving away too much equity.
For a seller, accepting less than the business deserves.
For a buyer, overpaying for an acquisition.
For an investor, buying a great company at a terrible price.
Valuation is where those decisions should start.
I build professional valuations by connecting the numbers that actually drive value:
→ Revenue growth
→ Operating margins
→ Free cash flow
→ ROIC & reinvestment
→ Debt & balance-sheet risk
→ WACC
→ Terminal value
→ Market multiples
→ DCF & sensitivity analysis
You don't just receive a number.
You get a clear valuation framework that shows what the business could be worth, why, and which assumptions matter most.
Whether you need a valuation for fundraising, M&A, an exit, equity negotiations, or investment analysis, I can help.
📩 Message me on Contra to discuss your valuation project.
Know the value first. Then negotiate the price.

how do you motivate yourself, as an entrepreneur, during the down seasons?
for me, i look back over my work and ensure I remember I have so much to be proud of!
it's been a slow season in my business recently but i am SO proud of many things, including that i'm almost at the next Contra earnings milestone!
what's crazy is, i got a lead from Contra for my biggest retainer check to date in February but they used their own payroll (outside of Contra) so I really have already hit the $50k+ from Contra
but by the end of the year, I will have made $50k ON Contra! 🔥 wow, what a dream come true 🥹
What makes an A/B test readout useful to a product team?
My preferred first page answers four questions:
What changed, and by how much?
How uncertain is the estimate?
Did an important guardrail get worse?
What decision does the evidence support, and what remains unresolved?
A result can be statistically significant and still too small to matter. An inconclusive result can still leave a meaningful gain or loss plausible. The decision needs more than a green badge.
I built an independent A/B analyzer to make these checks easier to inspect. The project includes a live demo, downloadable reports and documented limitations:

If you work on product or CRO, what do you wish analysts put on the first page more often?
This is a strong framing of experiment readouts: separating signal, uncertainty, guardrails, and the actual decision keeps the team honest. The reminder that significance is not the same as usefulness is especially important.
Cash Flow Statement & Cash Flow Forecast
This project covers both historical and forward-looking cash flow analysis for a small retail business. First, I prepared a Statement of Cash Flows using the indirect method — starting from Net Income and adjusting for non-cash items (depreciation) and working capital changes (accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable) to arrive at Net Cash from Operating, Investing, and Financing Activities. Second, I built a 6-month rolling Cash Flow Forecast that projects monthly cash inflows and outflows, automatically carries each month's ending balance into the next month's beginning balance, and flags any month where projected cash falls below a set minimum threshold. A trend chart visualizes the projected cash position against that threshold, so a business owner can see potential shortfalls months in advance rather than being surprised by them.
