Two Decades, Thousands of Projects, One Mission
We built Maple Virtual Solutions because we have seen too many great projects fail—not due to lack of merit, but because the materials couldn't communicate their value clearly enough to pass investor scrutiny.
After reviewing thousands of funding submissions across AI, Clean Tech, Renewable Energy, Real Estate, Mining, and Infrastructure, we know what separates funded projects from rejected ones. It's rarely the idea. It's the clarity with which that idea is presented.
Our mission is simple but urgent. Great projects deserve fair consideration. Too many brilliant ideas pass through investor filters because of fixable mistakes, not weak substance.
We level the playing field for first-time founders and sophisticated developers alike by translating investor psychology into plain language you can act on.
When you work with us, you are not hiring a reviewer. You are gaining a partner committed to making sure your materials speak with authority before they ever reach a decision-maker.
Why this Partnership Works
Kimberley brings the discipline of finance—ensuring every projection, assumption, and metric withstands scrutiny. Richard brings the pragmatism of operations—structuring materials so the commercial logic, technical feasibility, and execution plan are obvious at a glance.
Together, we cover both sides of what investors evaluate: the numbers and the story behind them. This dual-lens approach is why our reviews identify gaps other consultants miss.
We're not consultants who review decks as a side service. This is our core expertise. Every client receives the same standards, regardless of project size or stage.
And because we work together both professionally and personally, there's no finger-pointing, no dropped balls. Just two partners aligned on the same goal: making sure you're investment-ready.
Together, we ensure your financial projections, operational plans, and strategic narratives present a unified case that capital providers can trust.
The Partnership
Behind every review is a partner who's sat on both sides of the table.
Outside of client work, we're also athletes, gamers, and outdoor enthusiasts who understand the importance of balance—even when building something meaningful.
Kimberley is a designated CPA with nearly 15 years of experience supporting projects across Clean Tech, Renewable Energy, Green Infrastructure, Technology, Engineering, and Property Development. She has prepared financial models, documentation, and investor packages for projects ranging from $5 million to more than $500 million, helping founders and developers secure both debt and equity from institutional capital providers.
Her background includes work on global renewable energy and infrastructure initiatives, where she strengthened governance, financial clarity, and strategic alignment for complex, multi-stakeholder projects. Kimberley is known for producing investor-grade materials that withstand diligence, anticipate questions, and give decision-makers confidence in both the numbers and the team behind them.
She brings a disciplined, systematic approach to every engagement, ensuring that financial projections, operational plans, and strategic narratives align with what capital providers expect. Her work has helped organizations move from concept to capital-ready, improving decision-making and long-term project success.
Outside the Office
Kimberley stays active through cycling, strength training, and traveling. She's also an avid reader and spends time gaming alongside Richard—a shared hobby that keeps us connected even during busy seasons.
In Plain Terms
Kimberley ensures the numbers tell a story investors can trust. When you work with her, you're getting a CFO-level perspective on how institutional capital evaluates risk, viability, and return.
Richard has spent more than a decade preparing complex projects for capital review, helping founders and developers secure funding across Consumer Markets, Clean Tech, and Renewable Energy. He has supported projects ranging from early-stage pilots to multi-million-dollar infrastructure deployments, ensuring each one is documented, defensible, and ready for investor scrutiny. He specializes in transforming operational chaos into clarity.
Richard structures projects so that decision-makers can see the commercial logic, technical feasibility, and execution plan without having to hunt for answers. He works with cross-functional specialists including engineers, consultants, and subject-matter experts to produce submission packages that demonstrate readiness, credibility, and a clear path to implementation.
His work has supported thousands of projects, accelerated project approvals, and strengthened investor confidence for clients whose materials need to speak with authority. Richard brings the discipline of an operator and the pragmatism of someone who has guided projects through real-world constraints, timelines, and expectations.
Outside the Office
Richard has played hockey and video games for over 40 years, enjoys kettlebell training, traveling, and reading. Those weekend hockey games and late-night gaming sessions are where he learns teamwork, patience, and the value of showing up prepared—principles that translate directly to client work.
In Plain Terms
Richard makes sure your materials answer the questions before investors ask them. When you work with him, you're getting an operator's perspective on what actually gets approved—and what gets stuck in due diligence.

How We Work With You
Every engagement begins with understanding your story, not just your numbers. We learn about your vision, your challenges, and what has kept investors saying no in the past. This ensures our review is tailored to your specific situation, not a generic checklist.
Once we complete our diagnosis, we deliver a structured report that identifies exactly where your messaging breaks down, where data gaps undermine credibility, and where investors lose interest. Each finding includes specific examples from your materials, clear explanations of why it matters, and priority-ranked recommendations you can implement without hiring additional consultants.
In our wrap-up session, we walk through every recommendation, answer your questions, and help you prioritize next steps. By the end, you will have shared understanding of what to fix first, confidence in your revised approach, and a roadmap to submit.

Built on Partnership
From boardrooms to conferences, from late-night strategy sessions to celebration dinners—this is how we work, how we think, and why we stay aligned on every client engagement.
Over ten years ago, we chose to build something together beyond client work. That decision reshaped everything. It meant our standards had to match our accountability.
It meant no compartmentalized responsibilities where one partner owns success while the other owns failure.
Our clients inherit this alignment whether they see the photos below or not. When you hire Maple Virtual Solutions, you are investing in two professionals who have chosen to stand behind every word, number, and recommendation as jointly as we stand together in life.
These six moments span from 2016 to present day—a fraction of the time we have worked individually, but a complete representation of how we operate as partners. You will not find us shifting blame when a submission stalls or celebrating wins alone when funding arrives.
What you see in these frames is what you receive in every engagement: mutual responsibility, shared standards, and one unified point of accountability.
