About this service

Summary

Deliver high-caliber three-statement financial models with a focus on accuracy and flexibility, built upon a foundation of having passed all three levels of the CFA exams and reinforced by data science expertise. My service is distinguished by the integration of rigorous financial training with Python programming skills, enabling the creation of dynamic, user-friendly models accompanied by interactive data visualizations and comprehensive scenario analysis.

Process

Initial Consultation: I meet with you to understand your unique business model, financial history, and the specific objectives you have for the financial model.

Historical Data Collection: I collect and review your historical financial information, typically spanning 3-5 years, to establish a baseline for the projections.

Assumption Development: Together, we develop a comprehensive set of assumptions based on your operations, market dynamics, and broader economic factors.

I iterate on these assumptions with you to ensure they align with your strategic vision.

Model Setup: I input your historical data and the agreed-upon assumptions into a structured model within Excel/Google Sheets. The model is organized with clear sections for inputs, calculations, outputs, and visualizations to maintain transparency and ease of use.

Income Statement Projection: I project your future revenues, expenses, and taxes to calculate net income, considering operational insights and growth objectives.

Balance Sheet Construction: I model your future assets, liabilities, and equity based on past performance and our projections, always ensuring the balance sheet balances.

Cash Flow Statement Creation: I connect the dots between the income statement and balance sheet to accurately project cash flows from all business activities.

Financial Statement Integration: I meticulously link the three financial statements so that they dynamically adjust and reflect the interconnectivity of your financials.

Scenario and Sensitivity Analysis: I craft various scenarios to demonstrate how different business conditions could affect your financial projections. I perform sensitivity analyses on key variables to highlight their impact on your financial health.

Model Validation and Testing: I thoroughly check the model for accuracy and functionality, ensuring it stands up to various operational scenarios.

Visualization and Dashboard Creation: I design and implement interactive dashboards that provide you with a clear visual representation of financial trends and key metrics.

Documentation and User Instruction: I document every aspect of the financial model for your reference and create a user manual so you can understand and manipulate the model as needed.

Model Review with You: We sit down to review the model together, and I make any necessary adjustments to ensure it meets your expectations.

Training Session: I provide a detailed walkthrough of the model, empowering you to make informed decisions based on its outputs.
