Financial Modeling and Forecasting
Too often business owners make financial decisions based on historical financial data presented in a traditional financial statement format, rather than employ financial modeling and the benefits finacial modeling and forecasting brings. Although the traditional method is effective and valuable, there is a more powerful way to get your arms around your company’s overall position: financial modeling and forcasting.
Financial modeling takes the same historical financial data used in traditional financial statements and expands upon the normal financial statement. Through detailed reports with graphs and other valuable information, financial modeling produces the following:
- A robust financial report that provides insight in key areas of the business. Areas such as liquidity, Profits and Profit Margin, Sales, Borrowing and Assets.
- Recommendations on how to improve these key areas.
- Benchmark data that measures the company against other company’s financial well being of similar size and industry.
- Industry Scorecard that displays the company’s key financial indicators (financial ratios) and how they measure up to the company’s industry.
- Three to five year projections that are based on historical data and three to five year projections based on new assumptions.
- A valuation of the business based on the “discounted cash flow method.”
