Khalid in a few words
I help businesses, investors, and startups unlock financial clarity and make smarter decisions. With 18+ years of global M&A and investment experience, I build robust, easy-to-use financial models tailored to your goals—whether you're raising capital, assessing acquisitions, or optimizing business performance.

Services include:
  • Custom Financial Models (3-statement, DCF, LBO, Operating models, etc.)
  • Business Valuation for fundraising, buy-side/sell-side, or strategic planning
  • Transaction Support (Due diligence, deal analysis, investor presentations)
  • Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) and budgeting tools
  • Startup & Pitch Deck Financials with clear, investor-friendly metrics
  • Presentations and reports for IC or Board

I bring a deep understanding of finance and a hands-on, collaborative approach—no fluff, just clear, actionable insights to move your business forward.
