Hire help with a startup financial model
A modeler turns your assumptions into a working spreadsheet — revenue build, costs, hiring, cash and runway, often a three-statement model — that you can change and defend in front of investors.

Before you order
- List your assumptions yourself: price, conversion, churn, hiring plan, main costs. A modeler can structure them; only you can defend them.
- Gather the actuals you have (bank, accounting export, last months of revenue). A model that starts from real numbers is easier to believe.
- Decide the horizon and the question the model must answer, e.g. "how many months of runway after this round, and when do we need the next one".

A model is a list of assumptions with arithmetic attached
In my day job I invest in early-stage startups, and the financial model is the file I spend the least time admiring and the most time questioning. Nobody expects a seed company’s projections to come true. What a model shows is whether the founder understands what drives the business: which three or four assumptions matter, and what happens when they are wrong. A freelancer can build the arithmetic cleanly. The assumptions have to be yours, written down before the order, with a note on where each one comes from.
How to read the shortlist
Hristo Dikov builds startup models from scratch at the top of the price range. Saim and Ali Hassan are lower-priced options for projections attached to a plan or a first raise. Dragana T. combines the written business plan with the numbers. El Mehdi Naffaa also offers a review of a model you already have, a useful first order if you built one yourself.
Split a large model into stages (structure, then numbers, then scenarios) as in fixed price or milestones, and use the first message guide to send your assumptions list before asking for a quote.
What gets checked first
When I open a model, I do three things before reading any output: find the assumptions tab, change one input, and see whether the outputs move. Then I compare the first months with the actual revenue I was told about. A model that fails either check is not wrong because of one bad cell; it is wrong because nobody can use it to answer a new question. Ask for live formulas, one assumptions tab and a walk-through call, and try the three checks yourself before you accept the file.
Brief to send
Every field here is one a seller would otherwise ask about in a call. Fill them all; write "not applicable" rather than deleting one.
- The question
- What the model must answer (runway, round size, break-even month) and who will read it.
- Business model
- How we make money: pricing, customer types, sales cycle, recurring or one-off.
- Assumptions
- My list of assumptions with values and where each comes from. Mark which are guesses.
- Actuals
- The last months of revenue and costs (export attached). The model starts from these.
- Structure
- Monthly for 24–36 months then yearly; P&L, cash flow, balance sheet if three-statement; hiring plan; scenarios (base / downside).
- Format
- Excel or Google Sheets, live formulas only (no hard-coded results), one assumptions tab, inputs coloured differently from formulas.
- Hand-back
- The file plus a short guide: how to change an assumption, and what each tab does. A call to walk me through it.
- Acceptance
- Final payment when I can change three assumptions myself and the outputs update correctly, and the balance sheet balances.
- Updates
- Rate for updating the model with new actuals or a new scenario later.
How to accept the work
- Change one assumption (price, for example) and watch revenue, cash and runway move. Nothing stays fixed that should depend on it.
- Click on output cells: they are formulas pointing at the assumptions tab, not typed-in numbers.
- If it is a three-statement model, the balance sheet balances in every month and cash matches the cash flow statement.
- The first months match your actual numbers within rounding.
- You can explain every assumption out loud. If one came from the modeler, you know why and you agree with it.
The general case — owning the accounts, alerts on failure, testing without watching — is in Acceptance checklist: does it run unattended?.

Questions people ask
Does a seed-stage startup need a three-statement model?
Often not. Many early investors care most about the revenue build, the burn and the runway. A three-statement model helps when there is real revenue, debt or inventory. Ask the modeler which you need, and why.
How much does a startup financial model cost on Fiverr?
The Pro gigs here start between $100 and $400. Simple projections sit at the low end; a full model with scenarios and a business plan costs more.
Can I use a model I built with AI tools?
As a first draft, yes, but check it before an investor does: hard-coded numbers, broken links between tabs and assumptions nobody can explain are common. Paying someone to review it is cheaper than rebuilding trust in a meeting.
