Financial Modelling

Financial Modelling

Let us be your financial modeling consultant. Financial modeling services provide projects with a comprehensive representation of their operations in the past, present, and forecasted future. Models are valuable decision-making tools.

Our modeling philosophy follows the FAST Standard – emphasizing the importance of accuracy, transparency and thoughtful model design. The modular standard we follow has allowed our team to create a library of building blocks so when we create a model for your project, we can customize and tailor your model without steep upfront investment for you.

We begin the model design process by focusing on the model dashboard or outputs and then work backward through the supporting schedules to the required inputs. This approach ensures that the level of detail throughout the model is appropriate to its end objective. Many models often miss the mark by being either too simplistic or overly complex, but our expertise ensures the right level of detail.

FAST Philosophy

Flexible, appropriate, structured and transparent.

Periodicity refers to the frequency of time intervals in the model, such as monthly, quarterly, or annual. We understand that professionals may struggle with determining the best model and design for their specific needs. Our guidance helps businesses make informed decisions regarding periodicity and design choices.

Within the model schedules, we advocate for the use of effective structures like corkscrews. These structures are particularly useful for tracking accounts that change over time, such as debt and equity schedules. We also address the controversial topic of circularity in financial models, providing software and VBAs to help deal with these issues.

Dynamic

Adaptable inputs and scenarios for comparing possibilities.

Knowing when to sell a project is equally important. GIA’s experts utilize valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis, to assess the project’s current and future value. We consider market conditions, potential future cash flows, and investor expectations to determine the optimal timing for project divestment. Through careful evaluation, your financial modeling consultant will help you identify the most favorable exit opportunities, maximizing their returns.

Calculating financial metrics such as the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV) is essential for evaluating project feasibility. GIA’s financial modeling capabilities allow us to accurately calculate these metrics, considering project cash flows, discount rates, and investment costs. By analyzing the IRR and NPV, businesses can assess profitability, compare investment opportunities, and make informed decisions about project viability.

Capital distributions and dividend timings are crucial considerations for project investors. GIA’s financial experts work closely with clients to develop distribution policies that align with their financial goals and cash flow requirements. We analyze cash flow projections, debt service obligations, and investor preferences to determine the optimal timing and amount of capital distributions and dividends. This ensures that investors can optimize their cash flow management and maximize returns.
