Financial modelling

At the core of our work there is usually a robust, tested, integrated financial model. Much else – a valuation for instance, or the willingness of funders to provide future capital – rests on this.

An independently prepared, quality assured model, produced in the right format to meet the requirements of the likely users can save you a huge amount of time and money, and help maintain confidence and momentum in a deal process, making sure the numbers stand up to scrutiny.

Our highly experienced team have built fully integrated (profit and loss, balance sheet and cashflow) financial models for a wide variety of businesses across geographies.

It should also be a live and ongoing business tool and easily capable of flex and varying the underlying assumptions.

Financial models are useful for a number of purposes including:

• Selling or buying a business, including considering the value of future payments as part of the deal structure
• Raising capital, including appropriate timing and impact of various routes (debt v equity)
• Internal reporting and cashflow management, including setting realistic financial targets and business objectives
• Valuations
• Dispute resolution
• Monthly management reporting
