 Financial Modeling is a valuation tool which
teaches you to work with historical
information of companies and analyze the
company performance on relevant financial
parameters. This analysis is then used to give
you an estimate of the valuation of
companies/projects.
 For anyone pursuing or advancing a career in corporate
development, investment banking, financial planning and
analysis (FP&A), equity research, commercial banking, or other
areas of corporate finance, building financial models is part of
the daily routine.

In business decision-making, there are three
classes of decision problems, namely:
 Decisions under conditions of certainty
 Decisions under conditions of risk
 Decisions under conditions of uncertainty.
Models involve a large number of assumptions
Uncontrollable variables because they are
outside the decision-maker’s control, e.g.,
interest rates, consumer trends, currency
fluctuations, etc.
Controllable variables are those inputs that
influence a model’s outcome and are within
the decision-maker’s control. E.g. , product
price, the level of output, or acceptable profit
levels.
 Every Investment aim for:
Earning Return Risk Level

3. The statement of cash flows.

The best tool for financial modeling is spread
sheet MS EXCEL.
The advantages of a model:
 it is easy for the decision-maker to
understand
 it can be modified quickly and cheaply
 there is less risk when experimenting with a
model than with the real system
Types of models
 Graphical models, which use lines, curves,
and other symbols to produce flow charts, pie
charts, bar charts, scatter diagrams, etc
 Mathematical models which use formulae and
algorithms to represent real-world situations.
 Excel provides several built-in functions to do
various types of calculations.
 You therefore need to learn the underlying theory
and concepts well and be able to write your own
formulas to do calculations that cannot be done
using the built-in functions.
 You also need to learn the theory and concepts
well to clearly understand how the built-in
functions work and what their limitations are so
that you can take full advantage of them and not
use them incorrectly.
