What I'm looking for

I am looking for roles that let me drive strategic advisory and financial modelling for SMEs or startups, work with executive teams, and contribute to investor readiness and growth.

I am a strategic consultant and financial analyst with an FMVA certification, grounded in a BSc Business Administration from Ashesi University. I lead high-impact advisory engagements for over 30 SMEs and startups, delivering diagnostic insights that enhance profitability, operational efficiency, and investor readiness.

I build integrated 3-statement financial models and conduct investment appraisals (DCF, IRR, NPV) that shape C-suite decisions on capital budgeting and multimillion-cedi projects. I translate complex frameworks into execution-ready solutions, produce investor-grade reports and board-level presentations, and have driven initiatives such as a subscription e-commerce product generating GHS 300+ per subscriber monthly.

I combine hands-on consulting, market research, and project leadership to mentor teams, improve analytical quality, and guide strategic growth. I seek roles where I can apply financial modelling, strategic diagnostics, and stakeholder engagement to scale SMEs and advise executive leadership on long-term value creation.
