Financial models for operating businesses

A model you can trust, maintain and decide with.

We replace the spreadsheet your business runs on today with one that is more accurate, easier to maintain and more useful for decisions. You get the statement, budget or tracker your business actually needs.

Services

Five areas of work, one standard of build.

Every engagement ends in a working Excel model. Which areas we draw on depends on what your business needs the model to answer.

Financial modeling

Excel models with clean structure, formatting, formulas and layout. This is the standard every model we deliver is built to.

  • Structure
  • Formulas
  • Layout

Financial reporting and statement analysis

Statements that are structured correctly, with the right accounting treatment and the ratios that show how the business is really doing.

  • Statement structure
  • Ratios
  • Quality of earnings

Cost management

Where the money goes and what each job, product or line actually earns after its fair share of cost.

  • Cost allocation
  • Margins
  • Break-even
  • Variance
  • Budgeting

Valuation and capital allocation

How the business is financed, what its capital costs and whether an investment is worth making.

  • Capital structure
  • Cost of capital
  • DCF
  • Investment decisions

Operations

The operating numbers behind the financials, tracked in a form you can act on week to week.

  • Capacity
  • Inventory
  • Process
  • Operating KPIs
The offer

Job Margin and Cash Review

“We will show you which jobs made and lost money last year, why, and what your cash looks like for the next 13 weeks.”
Price

Quoted after intake, based on what your review needs.

Scope

If your books cannot support job-level analysis, we tell you what is missing. That becomes the first finding. Bookkeeping cleanup is not part of the review.

You send

  • 12 months of P&L by job, or the QuickBooks export
  • Your current job list with contract values and billings
  • Receivables and payables aging

You get

  • A short findings memo
  • A job-by-job margin table
  • A 13-week cash forecast
  • The three changes most worth making
Process

The same six steps for every business.

  1. Intake

    You share your current model or reports, your industry, how the business makes money and the decisions the model needs to support.

  2. Diagnose

    We list what is wrong or missing today: errors, hardcoded numbers, missing statements, no cash view, no KPIs.

  3. Propose

    You get a one-page plan of the tabs, key drivers and outputs before we build anything.

  4. Build

    We build in Excel, with inputs, calculations and outputs on separate tabs.

  5. Check

    We confirm the balance sheet balances, cash ties and totals foot, and we report the results of every check.

  6. Summarize

    A short note explains what changed from your old model and why the new one is better.

Model standards

Built so you can run it without us.

No hardcodes in formulas

Every number is a live formula or a labeled input. Nothing is typed into the middle of a calculation.

Revenue = Units × Price

One color code on every tab

Inputs are one color and formulas are another, the same way across the whole workbook, so you always know what is safe to change.

■ Input   ■ Formula

Error checks and instructions included

Each model has built-in error checks and a short instructions tab that explains how to use and update it.

✓ Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Yours to maintain

The model is built for the owner to keep current. You should not need to call us to roll it forward.

Tabs: Instructions · Inputs · Calcs · Outputs · Checks
