Building Bespoke Financial Models
CTG has unique expertise in the area of financial modelling. Modelling is becoming an increasingly vital tool in decision making. Unfortunately its possibilities are largely misunderstood as most users lack the skills to maximise its capabilities.
CTG has developed a set of brilliant yet robust modelling best practice guidelines. These enable users to build increasingly sophisticated financial models yet avoid the pitfall of creating models which are unwieldy, impenetrable and fragile.
We can run training ranging from a simple financial excel course through Modelling Best Practice, to a five-day LBO and Merger Modelling programme. Establishing organisational “best practice” removes the commonly seen problem of models: where models are built to one off standards and then rapidly become obsolete and frequently unworkable when the creator moves on.
We also build bespoke models for clients. Normally we would prefer to share our expertise by teaching our clients how to build their own models. However, sometimes circumstance dictates that the client is best served by creating a model which they can be taught to use and refine. We have built suites of models which are in current use for both investment banks as well as companies in sectors such as telecoms and distribution.
