Before vs After

Before

  • Modeling starts from blank Excel sheets with no enforced structure
  • Assumptions scattered across tabs with inconsistent conventions
  • Ratio analysis done ad hoc — different analysts, different metrics
  • No clean handoff between model builder and reviewer

After

  • Guided assumption entry with structured revenue, cost, and capital inputs
  • Income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement generated in lockstep
  • Ratio dashboard covering profitability, leverage, liquidity, and efficiency
  • Workbook skeleton export for offline review and extension
  • Gotcha flags for common modeling errors and circular logic

Key Decisions

1

Started from business drivers — not line items — so the model reflects operating reality

2

Built ratio analysis into the core loop rather than bolting it on after the fact

3

Designed the export as a skeleton, not a finished product — reviewers should extend, not just read

What I'd do next (given more time)

  • Add bridge analysis for period-over-period variance decomposition
  • Build LBO module with debt schedule, PIK, and IRR waterfall
  • Support IPO scenario modeling with dilution and offer price sensitivity
  • Include scenario manager for base / bull / bear toggling
