Scoping and assumptions
Definition of the scope, objectives, and assumptions in coordination with the client's teams.
Financial Engineering and Modelling
Financial modelling in support of transactions and strategic decisions. An analytical tool for financing, investment, and restructuring.
When is financial modelling necessary?
Financial modelling involves structuring the analysis of a transaction based on the available data, the assumptions adopted, and, where applicable, the business plan provided by management.
It is required in particular for financing, investment, LBO, or restructuring transactions.
METHODOLOGY
The methods used are tailored to each issue and are discussed with management to ensure their relevance and clear understanding.
Model construction
Development of a structured financial model to formalise the assumptions, analyse the balance of the transaction, and test the robustness of the business plan.
Analyses and simulations
Implementation of sensitivity tests and scenarios to assess the impact of the key assumptions.
Reporting and deliverables
Presentation of the analyses carried out in a structured document, including the methodology used and the conclusions.
We work in particular on restructuring transactions, private or listed transactions, LBO transactions, as well as in structuring investment and financing files.
Modelling makes it possible to structure the analysis of a transaction, formalise the assumptions, and inform decision-making, in particular by carrying out stress tests where necessary.
Models, such as DCFs, are built in close collaboration with management, based on the available data and the assumptions adopted.
The analyses are presented in structured documents (usually Excel files, sometimes with VBA macros) detailing the methodology, the assumptions adopted, and the results, to make them easier for the client’s teams to use.
