Financial Modelling Services
Providing financial modelling services for UK based SME’s and their advisors.
With extensive experience in delivering hundreds of modelling solutions, I am delighted to be able to offer bespoke financial models tailored to your unique requirements.
All models are personally developed by me, a former Corporate Finance Director, leveraging my 18 years of experience to ensure they are designed to follow industry best practises and built efficiently to save you time and money.
Here are some examples of common types of models, but don’t let these limit your imagination - if it can be calculated, it can be modelled! Please reach out to discuss your specific needs or to request a quote.
Operational Cashflow
Key for treasury management, cashflow analysis, budgeting and variance analysis, an operational model is a core pillar of day-to-day operations and helping to identifying potential issues early.
Investment Appraisal
To ensure feasibility and obtain the best value funding, it is essential to model the options and costs before making a significant capital investment.
Compliance Models
A quality model can assist in fulfilling your obligations related to various issues such as gender pay gap, duty to report prompt payment practices, and facilitating a change in accounting policy.
Deal Modelling
A strong financial model is a significant value driver during a sale process. It allows the seller to showcase the business plan and gives the buyer the ability to test and minimise perceived risks.
Cost Modelling
From activity-based costing, to cost allocation modelling, a sound understanding and illustration of the costs of your operations can drive significant value and savings for the business.
FP&A Support
Whether it's automating existing processes or building from scratch there are opportunities to control risks and save time and money through application best practise modelling.
Funding Models
A good funding model will identify the requirement and allow scenario testing to explore alternative options and stress test the plan - supporting reducing risk perception and funding costs.
Bid Pricing Models
A well-designed bidding model can ensure precise pricing and facilitate a highly competitive bidding process, regardless of whether it follows a top-down or bottom-up approach.
Special Purpose Models
Fully bespoke modelling solutions. e.g. furlough scheme payments during the pandemic, optimising profit via constraint analysis, or evaluating claims for capital allowances.
Working With You
Financial modelling requires collaboration and iteration to achieve success - it's not a case of taking the brief and locking oneself in a room and returning with a 'finished' product.
I will work with you to make sure that the requirement is well defined, and the solution is agreed before embarking on the build phase. Regular check ins will help to ensure that the project stays on track and within budget.
Once the model is completed you will be provided with training and handover sessions to ensure a smooth adoption process.
Successful financial modelling is an iterative and a collaborative process
01
Specification
Defined via a process of workshop meetings and may include some 'proof of concept' or strawman workings to ensure that the requirement is well understood, and the proposed solution is approved in terms of the scope of work, costs and timings.
02
Development
The model will be developed in accordance with the specification, with interim versions shared for discussion and feedback during the process - to keep you in the loop regarding progress. This approach allows for feedback and adjustments to the model during development in case you require amendments to the specification and to make sure that it's meeting your expectations.
03
Acceptance Testing
A 'first finished draft' of the model will be shared for population and testing by the team who will own it going forwards. Any feedback provided at this stage will be rolled into an updated version, which will also be subject to analytical review procedures as appropriate.
04
Handover and Sign Off
Once acceptance testing is complete a final handover meeting will allow for a run through of the model and its features and cover off any remaining questions. At this point an acceptance letter will be signed and the final bill raised.
05
Ongoing Support
The day-to-day responsibility for ongoing use and maintenance rests with you once the model has been delivered and signed-off but I will be delighted to discuss any additional support if required.
