About Hassan

Strategic Finance Partner (ACCA/MBA) | Fractional FP&A | Ex-Rolls-Royce, Bolt & INEOS

I am a London-based Finance Professional with a unique background spanning "Big Industrial" rigor (Rolls-Royce, INEOS) and "Hyper-Growth" tech agility (Bolt).

I specialize in helping startups, scale-ups, and established corporates professionalize their finance function, automate reporting, and build investor-grade models.

My Core Value Proposition:

Strategic Modeling & Valuation: I build robust financial models (3-Statement, DCF, SaaS metrics) that stand up to due diligence. My work has supported multi-million Euro investment decisions and manufacturing greenfield projects.

Tech-Forward FP&A: I don't just use Excel. I implement modern financial stacks (Pigment, Power BI, Looker) to automate month-end closes and create live decision dashboards.

Cost Optimization: I have a track record of identifying immediate P&L impact, including delivering €2.5M in annual savings through vendor rationalization and process improvements at Bolt.

Key Experience:

Bolt (Tech/Scale-up): Led FP&A for a €220M cost base; implemented Pigment/Workday.

Rolls-Royce (Luxury/Auto): Managed pricing strategy for a $2bn+ order book.

INEOS Automotive (Manufacturing): Managed commercial finance for vehicle lifecycle investments (€20M+).
