Financial Modelling

Financial Models Built for Decisions, Not Just Decks

A financial model should help you make decisions — pricing, hiring, fundraising, expansion — not just fill a slide. We build fully linked, audit-ready models that hold up under investor and lender diligence.

This service is built for you if…

  • You need a 3-statement model that links properly and doesn't break when assumptions change
  • You're preparing for a fundraise, bank facility, or board review and need defensible numbers
  • Your current spreadsheet has become unmanageable or was built by someone who's since left
  • You want scenario and sensitivity analysis, not just a single static forecast

The Problem We Solve

Spreadsheet errors and disconnected assumptions are one of the fastest ways to lose credibility with investors and lenders.

01

Models with broken links between the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow

02

Assumptions buried in formulas instead of a clean, auditable assumptions tab

03

No scenario or sensitivity analysis, leaving management blind to downside risk

04

Models that can't be updated or maintained internally once the consultant walks away

Benefits of Working With Sequoia Gulf

We build models the way institutional finance teams do — transparent, linked, and built to be interrogated.

01

Fully Linked 3-Statement Models

Income statement, balance sheet and cash flow are dynamically linked and driven by a single, clean assumptions tab.

02

Scenario & Sensitivity Analysis

Base, upside and downside cases built in, so you can stress-test decisions before committing capital.

03

Valuation-Ready Output

Models structured to support DCF, comparable and precedent transaction valuation approaches where relevant.

04

Built for Your Team to Use

Clear documentation and a handover session so your internal team can maintain and update the model going forward.

Our Financial Modelling Process

We follow institutional modelling standards to ensure your model is both accurate and usable long after the engagement ends.

01

Scoping Session

We define the model's purpose — fundraising, budgeting, valuation, or board reporting — and the level of granularity required.

02

Assumptions Workshop

We work with you to gather and validate revenue drivers, cost structure, working capital and capex assumptions.

03

Model Build

Our team constructs the fully linked 3-statement model with a clean, documented assumptions layer.

04

Scenario Testing

We build base, upside and downside scenarios and run sensitivity analysis on the key value drivers.

05

Review & Walkthrough

We walk you through the model line by line, so you understand every driver and can defend it under questioning.

06

Handover & Support

You receive the model, documentation, and a short support window for follow-up questions or adjustments.

Financial Modelling Questions, Answered

What software do you build financial models in?

We build primarily in Excel and Google Sheets, using institutional modelling conventions (colour-coded inputs, clean formula structure) so your team can maintain the model without our involvement.

Can you rebuild an existing model instead of starting from scratch?

Yes. We regularly audit and rebuild existing models, preserving what works and correcting structural or logical errors.

Do you provide valuation alongside the financial model?

Yes, where required we extend the model to support DCF or comparable-based valuation, typically as part of a Capital Raising or Fractional CFO engagement.

How long does a financial model take to build?

Straightforward models typically take 1–2 weeks; more complex multi-entity or multi-scenario models can take 3–4 weeks depending on data availability.

Will I be able to update the model myself after delivery?

Yes — every model is delivered with documentation and a live walkthrough specifically so your internal team can update it independently.
