Financial Modelling and Business Valuation

Five days at the keyboard building a fully integrated three statement model from a blank spreadsheet, then using it to value a business. You will leave with a working model, a disciplined structure and the judgement to challenge assumptions rather than accept them.

What you will be able to do

  • Structure a model with a clear separation of inputs, calculations and outputs.
  • Build integrated income statement, balance sheet and cash flow schedules that balance.
  • Construct debt, working capital and fixed asset schedules with circularity handled safely.
  • Apply discounted cash flow valuation and derive a defensible discount rate.
  • Cross check valuation using comparable company and precedent transaction multiples.
  • Run sensitivity and scenario analysis to show where the value actually sits.
