A 40-year-old, $80M family-owned IT firm is preparing to sell — and they need real FP&A work to back it: clean financials, a defensible forecast, and a valuation. Organize the books, model the forecast, and deliver a valuation that lands on the CEO's desk and on a buyer's table.

The work processed Attronica's historical financial statements, reconstructed accounting adjustments, and built a multi‑scenario forecast. It produced a financial model and valuation that quantified enterprise and equity value ranges based on the prepared forecasts and stated assumptions.
I completed the externship deliverables, turning raw financials into a cleaned set of statements, constructing forecast scenarios, and producing a valuation model and supporting outputs.
