About Nathaniel
I've done freelance finance the hard way, so you don't have to.
Former finance professional, now full-time freelancer and coach — I build the tax, savings, and income systems that actually hold up when your paycheck doesn’t.
I spent seven years in corporate finance before I left, at 29, to freelance full-time. I thought I understood money — I’d built models for a living. I was wrong about my own.
The first two years were rough. I underpaid my quarterly taxes twice. I kept a single checking account for everything, business and personal, and had no idea how much I actually made in a given month until January. I built spreadsheets, broke them, and built better ones.
Eventually the systems stuck — and other freelancers started asking how I did it. What started as advice to friends became a coaching practice. Ten years and 500+ clients later, I still build the same three things for everyone: a tax calendar, a savings system, and a way to see income clearly when it swings by 3x some months.
How I Work
Systems, not willpower
Discipline runs out. A system that fits your income doesn’t.
No jargon
If I can’t explain it in plain English, I don’t use it with clients.
Built by someone who's lived it
Every tool I teach, I use myself.
Freelancer-first
Not a generic budgeting template — sized for irregular income.
