“Maria built our Series B financial model from scratch. The quality was exceptional — exactly what our investors expected. She asked smart questions, flagged assumptions we hadn't thought through, and delivered 3 days ahead of schedule. Will hire again for every major finance project.”

“We needed a Power BI dashboard fast. Maria delivered in 6 days. The documentation she included made it easy for our team to update the reports ourselves. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a real finance professional, not just a spreadsheet jockey.”

“Maria automated our entire monthly close process. What used to take 3 days now takes 2 hours. She was patient, communicated clearly throughout, and the Python code she wrote is clean and well-commented. One of the best freelancers I've worked with — period.”
