​
Your financial projection is your business plan in numbers. Many business owners and entrepreneurs find that preparing a financial forecast is the most daunting aspect of developing a "Business Plan" business plan.
​
Preparing a good financial projection requires knowledge that goes beyond the elaboration of a simple spreadsheet in Excel. It requires knowledge of financial modeling, corporate finance, accounting, tax issues, marketing, and most importantly, experience from consultants who already know numerous business models and business segments that can help you in this task.

Whether you are starting a small business or a high-growth technology venture, we can help you prepare an appropriate financial model for your specific situation.
​
Our financial modeling process will distill the essence of your business into a manageable number of core assumptions and cause-and-effect relationships so you can distinguish between what's important and what's not.
​
Our most complete financial model is a powerful tool to help you visualize how your company's finances will evolve, month by month.
We can customize our financial forecasting model to suit any type of business, or create a new financial model from scratch, depending on the circumstances. The process is as artistic as it is scientific and we have the necessary experience to assist you.
​
When customizing the template for your company the following guiding principles:
We developed assumptions that simplified your decision-making process in your business model. This will allow you and your team to focus on relevant numbers with great possibility of simulation;
We establish cause-and-effect relationships so that when a variable changes, everything that depends on that variable will also change.
Some contents of our more complex models:
Income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement;
Monthly details with quarterly and yearly summaries.
Assumptions are color coded, documented and organized by category;
Extensive error checking to help detect errors quickly;
Create a PDF of the entire template with just one click.
Operating expenses grouped by department;
KPI's, such as revenue per employee, so you can benchmark against industry standards.
Sensitivity analysis;
Monte Carlo simulation;
Statistical projections.
