Snumari Datnayi

I specialize in building financial clarity and structure for startups, SMEs, and growth-stage businesses. Over the past six years, I have worked with founders across Africa, the US, and other regions to design robust financial models, investor-ready pitch decks, budgets, and operational reports that drive funding success and sustainable growth. My mission is to transform complex financial data into clear, actionable insights that empower business leaders to make confident strategic decisions.

As Principal Consultant at DatnayiEdge Solutions, I have supported more than 50 startups in raising over ₦500M through expertly prepared financial documentation — including models, market analyses, and business plans tailored for investors, banks, and grant providers. In addition, I work as a contract Financial Analyst with Slidebean Inc. (USA, Remote), where I build customized financial models for international startups and collaborate with cross-border teams to ensure financial strategies are aligned with long-term growth objectives.

My professional background also includes roles as Associate Accountant at Adeshile Adedeji & Co (Chartered Accountants) and Finance Officer at Tiny Hearts Technology LTD (Remote), where I gained extensive experience in audit support, grant budgeting, and variance analysis. These roles sharpened my ability to deliver accurate reporting and compliance across diverse industries.

Core skills include:

• Financial Planning, Analysis, & Reporting

• Financial Modelling (Investor-Ready & Grant-Focused)

• Data Analysis and Presentation

• Audit & Internal Control Support

• Management Accounts & Business Reporting

• Research & Business Analysis

I am proficient in working remotely, leveraging cloud-based tools to collaborate seamlessly with founders, investors, and teams worldwide. I bring not only technical expertise but also a strong understanding of investor expectations, having developed pitch decks and models that consistently pass due diligence and unlock growth capital.

With a B.Sc. in Accounting from the University of Abuja, ongoing ICAN certification, and specialized training in leadership and financial modelling, I combine academic grounding with practical, results-driven experience. Whether it’s helping an early-stage founder win their first grant or preparing growth-stage companies for Series A fundraising, I deliver data-backed insights and documentation that get results.

If you’re looking for a finance consultant who can bring clarity, structure, and impact to your business remotely, I’d be glad to support your journey.
