CA with 10 years in corporate finance. I build tools, kick numbers into shape, and write sharp essays for founders and operators who want to think clearly about money.

Battle-tested in corporate finance. Built for founders and finance teams who'd rather see the answer than guess it. The best tool is gated — subscribe to unlock.
Break-even point, 12-month runway, unit economics, and a Green/Amber/Red verdict. Know if your idea makes money before you spend a dollar.
Multi-year cash flow analysis, NPV, IRR, payback period, and a live Invest / Pass verdict. Works for any investment or project.
Score any business across five dimensions of durable competitive advantage. Live weighted verdict. No login required.
Compound interest, loan EMI, CAGR, Rule of 72, inflation, and retirement planning — six calculators in one place.
Log income and expenses, visualise your 90-day cash position, and track net balance in real time. No spreadsheet needed.
Full Excel workbook — 5-year P&L, NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback period, sensitivity tables, and a clear Invest / Pass verdict sheet. The model I use with consulting clients.
Six engagements — from the async review that pays for itself, to fractional CFO inside your business. Each one hands-on, never templated.
No sign-up. No spreadsheet download. Type the numbers, hit calculate, read the verdict.
Startups and listed companies dissected on unit economics, moat, and capital decisions. Same six-part template every time. Goal is reasoning, not forecasting.
Dark stores, 10-minute delivery, and a valuation that prices in perfection. We walk the unit economics and the one line that decides the outcome.
No frills, no celebrity CEO, no flashy tech. The moat lives entirely in the working capital cycle. We find it.
Premium positioning, proprietary brands, physical stores. The contribution margin tells the truth the earnings call doesn't.
From founders who've worked through the models, and readers of Margin Notes.
Akshay's financial model helped us clearly articulate our runway and close our seed round. The scenario analysis meant we had an answer for every investor question before it was asked.
The Margin Notes essays are the only finance writing I actually read every week. Specific, actionable, and never dumbed-down. The EBITDA piece changed how I report to my board.
The business viability calculator saved us from a pricing decision that would have destroyed margins at scale. Found the break-even problem in ten minutes. Wish we'd had this Day 1.
Start with a Business Case Review — async, 48hr turnaround, written PDF output.
