Business Models and Financial Modelling

I love Business Models and Financial Modelling … This is where my business acumen and technical expertise come together to support your business.

Most importantly, I have extensive experience in building complex financial models which help senior managers and founders make optimum business decisions.

Whether your goal is to forecast future performance, evaluate different scenarios or gain investment funding, a user-friendly and reliable model is essential.

Richard has excellent excel modelling skills and supported our fundraise process with a long-term business model.

The investment bank we worked with called it “one of the best they’d seen”

I’d recommend Richard to those looking for FP&A modelling support in their business.

Business Models and Financial Modelling

A business model typically consists of various assumptions, inputs, outputs, calculations and scenarios.

The outputs will often include a set of standard financial statements such as a profit & loss, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, driven by the assumptions in the model.

My Approach

I always aim to build business models that perform the required functionality in the cleanest and simplest way. In that way, others can understand how the model has been created.

The inputs and assumptions must be documented and agreed with the project sponsor and key stakeholders.

Above all, I build with the ultimate decision maker(s) in mind. That is why I am meticulous in ensuring the integrity of the model. And that’s also why the output statements and visualisations are important.

More than that, I realize that financial modeling is not a goal in itself. The ultimate goal is to get more insights into the business, for you and also for potential investors.
