Financial modelling
Financial models assist management in analysing and assessing critical business decisions.
By working closely with your team and following BDO financial modelling protocols, we can assist your business by building a financial model specifically for your needs. BDO also performs reviews on existing models to test the mathematical accuracy and robustness of the spreadsheet.
In addition to financial modelling, our team members are experts in valuations, accounting, finance, and mergers and acquisitions. These skills allow us to understand your business and the critical issues it faces.
Why BDO?
BDO are expert developers of financial models for a diverse range of businesses. However you don’t just get a financial modeller. Every member of the Corporate Finance Team is multi-skilled in areas including:
- Valuations
- Project Analysis
- Finance (Debt and Equity)
- Restructuring
- Accounting
Our team has the knowledge and skills to understand your business, the impact of the transaction, and the ramifications of any changes, be they operational or financial. As a result you won’t be transferred from one division to the next, making the financial modelling process more streamlined and efficient.
Who needs a Model?
Financial models assist management in decision making and business planning.
Models are commonly required when businesses are contemplating:
- Mergers
- Acquisitions
- Sales and Divestments
- Public Offerings
- Refinancing
- Restructuring
- Business expansion
Financial models can also assist with cash management by forecasting the cash requirements of the business and its compliance with debt covenants.
The BDO Approach
We work closely with your team in order to develop a model that meets your needs. Each BDO financial model is built on a bespoke basis.
By not using a “standard” model we:
- Design a final product specifically for your business and your requirements;
- Avoid over complicating formulas; and
- Remove redundant calculations and inputs.
All our models are built following BDO’s financial modelling protocols. These protocols ensure that the model:
- is user-friendly;
- has easy-to-identify assumptions;
- has an easy-to-follow, logical layout;
- contains formulas that are sophisticated but not overly complex;
- contains scenario analysis;
- is updatable for actual data; and
- is easy to maintain and update.
