Focused financial planning
Test the plan before
you commit to it.
Build, review or rebuild a financial model around your business drivers and the decision you need to make.
When this is useful
You are assessing a launch, funding requirement, commercial proposal, hiring plan or expansion and need to understand how the numbers connect.
What you receive
- A financial model connecting profit, balance sheet and cash flow where the scope requires it.
- A clearly organised assumptions section and explanation of key business drivers.
- A review of an existing model, or a rebuild where the agreed project calls for it.
- Base and alternative scenarios with a comparison of cash requirements and financial performance.
- Investment appraisal and valuation models, including NPV, IRR and sensitivity analysis where relevant to the scope.
- A model walkthrough, usage notes and agreed handover materials.
How the work progresses
Define the question
Agree the decisions, forecast period, outputs and level of detail.
Build the drivers
Map revenue, costs, working capital, capital expenditure and financing assumptions.
Test the scenarios
Check the model relationships and assess the sensitivity to the assumptions that matter most.
Walk through and hand over
Explain the results, limitations and how to update the model.
The delivery date and review rounds are agreed after the data and scope are understood.
Practical questions
Before the engagement.
Can you improve an existing financial model?
Yes. We can review an existing model, identify issues and scope corrections or reconstruction. Models can also be built from scratch around the business drivers and decision required.
What kinds of models are relevant to your experience?
Experience includes startup and SaaS models, infrastructure and investment analysis, valuation, inventory, cash flow, budgets and management reporting.
Let’s start with the work you need.
Share a little about your organisation, the accounting issue or decision ahead, and your timeline. We can agree the right scope before work begins.
