At most boutique firms, the founder closes the engagement and hands the work to a junior team. PaceMakers operates differently. When you engage us, Ahmad leads the financial structuring, modeling, valuation, and advisory work directly, drawing on twelve years of experience on mandates including multi-billion riyal real estate portfolios, ACWA Power's Central Asia renewable infrastructure, and Saudi Aramco-backed industrial projects.
This is the model sophisticated capital allocators expect: senior judgment on every line of the model, every assumption, every recommendation.
A track record built on institutional discipline.

WHAT WE DO
Built for transactions that need to hold up under scrutiny.
Six core capabilities, applied to the moments that matter most: capital raises, acquisitions, structuring decisions, and exits. Each engagement is led by Ahmad and built on lender-grade modeling discipline.
01
Financial Modeling
Lender-grade operating, valuation, and project finance models. IRR, DSCR, debt sizing, and debt sculpting built to institutional standard.
02
Business Valuation
Independent valuations using DCF, trading comparables, and transaction multiples for fundraising, M&A, joint ventures, and shareholder transactions.
03
M&A Advisory
Buy-side and sell-side support: target screening, structuring, valuation, negotiation support, and integration analysis through to close.
04
Real Estate Modeling
Mixed-use development modeling: phased construction, installment-based revenue, debt waterfalls, IRR optimization, and DSCR-compliant lender models.
05
Project Finance
Tariff calculation, debt sizing, debt sculpting, and CFADS modeling for energy, infrastructure, and PPP transactions.
06
Investment Memorandums
Investor-ready pitch decks, business plans, and information memorandums. The documentation capital actually closes on.
WHO WE SERVE
Capital allocators who buy advisory on judgment, not headcount.
Family Offices
Investment structuring, opportunity evaluation, and portfolio-level financial analysis for single-family and multi-family offices in KSA and the GCC.
Investment Offices
Deal-level modeling, valuation, and due diligence support, supplementing in-house teams on selective mandates.
Real Estate Developers
Feasibility, mixed-use modeling, lender-grade financial structuring, and capital-raising support across residential, commercial, and hospitality.
Corporates & Sponsors
M&A, valuation, project finance, and investor documentation for strategic transactions and capital events.
HOW WE WORK
A four-step engagement model, built around clarity.
- 01
Understand
We start by understanding the mandate, the decision it must support, and the audience the output must convince: board, lender, sponsor, or investor.
- 02
Analyse
Commercial diligence, sector benchmarking, and structural review. Numbers don't exist in a vacuum; we make sure the inputs reflect reality.
- 03
Model
Lender-grade construction. Every assumption visible, every output traceable, every line defensible under scrutiny.
- 04
Advise
Recommendations, structuring options, and capital-raising or transaction support, through to close.
STRATEGIC NETWORK
A focused network across the Gulf.
PaceMakers is supported by two long-standing relationships that extend our reach across the GCC. Sky Gulf, headquartered in Al Khobar, brings industrial and project execution depth in the Eastern Province. Lynkers, based in Manama and a strategic equity shareholder in PaceMakers, provides Bahrain market access and capital-markets insight.
Together, the network gives clients a senior bench with regional presence, without the overhead of a tier-one firm.
A good financial model is not just a calculation. It's a communication tool. Every assumption should be visible, every output should be traceable, and the final product should be something you'd be proud to present to a board or an investor committee without reformatting.
