Client Testimonials

Hear from clients who have transformed their businesses with strategic guidance and achieved extraordinary results.

"Gabriel does excellent work. You will not be disappointed if you hire him. I will definitely reach out to him on my next job posting. Gabriel delivered excellent work on this powerpoint presentation. I enjoyed working with him. His communication was top-notch, he met all deadlines, and his skills were very strong. I provided a bonus because I thought he was outstanding."

"Gabriel supported me on financial modeling work and delivered exactly what was needed. The models were clean, well-structured, and technically sound, with clear assumptions and logical flow. Communication was straightforward, deadlines were met, and feedback was incorporated quickly. Reliable, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. I would happily work with him again on similar assignments."

"Amazing experience working with Gabriel. Extremely attentive to detail. He took his time to understand our project and he spent hours providing feedback for improvements. We felt he was part of the company and his work reflects this. Will definitely keep working with Gabriel long-term."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ World-Class Experience Working with Gabriel! Working with Gabriel on the Clean Ocean financial model has been nothing short of exceptional. From day one, he demonstrated a level of professionalism, technical expertise, and strategic thinking that's rare to find on any platform. We tasked Gabriel with building a comprehensive 3-way financial model for Clean Ocean, a fast-scaling marketing and technology company built around an ESOP structure, global expansion strategy, and recurring-revenue model. This wasn't a simple spreadsheet job. It required someone who could understand complex business logic, model multiple growth scenarios, integrate operational data, and present it all in a way that would stand up to scrutiny from investors, accountants, and private equity groups. Gabriel absolutely nailed it. He approached the task with precision and genuine curiosity, asking intelligent questions that helped clarify our strategy and business model from the ground up. Rather than just "filling in numbers," he wanted to understand the "why" behind each assumption, how our ESOP worked, what our client acquisition model looked like, and how scaling content pods and HR growth tied into future EBITDA. This level of engagement made all the difference. The result was a world-class financial model that's both beautifully structured and functionally robust. Every sheet is linked logically, assumptions are clearly laid out, and the output dashboards are intuitive and presentation-ready. He also ensured the model could evolve over time, making it modular and easy for our internal team to adjust as we grow. Beyond the technical excellence, Gabriel was also a true professional to work with. His communication was clear, proactive, and dependable. He met every milestone on time, provided detailed updates, and was always open to feedback, often going above and beyond to refine areas that weren't even in the original scope. He took initiative to improve layout, streamline formulas, and even propose insights that strengthened our financial story for investors. I've worked with a lot of financial consultants and modelers across multiple businesses, including those involved in private equity deals and international M&A, and I can confidently say Gabriel operates at that elite level. He combines analytical depth with real-world business understanding, the kind of person who not only builds the numbers but helps "make sense" of them in a strategic context. The Clean Ocean financial model will now form the foundation of our investor communications, internal planning, and ESOP design, and Gabriel's fingerprints will be on all of it. If you're looking for someone who can go beyond spreadsheets, who can truly partner with you to build something powerful, insightful, and investor-ready, Gabriel is that person. I couldn't recommend him highly enough. We'll absolutely be working with him again as we roll out additional models across our portfolio companies. Thank you, Gabriel, world-class work."
