FAST Mechanics Webinar
The reality of financial modeling
Financial modeling can be damn tough. Your boss / client just needs you to ‘get it done’ and give her the numbers. You are contending with assumptions coming at you from all sides. You’re trying to keep track of it all in the face of a tight deadline. You must make sure that the model is doing its job of representing the commercial reality of the business. Your outputs have to look good, your calculations have to be clear and readable, and you have to be able to make changes to the model easily when the deal changes, as it does frequently!
If you’re looking to become a better modeler; to be faster at your job, to make fewer mistakes, to improve your ability to solve complex analytical problems, then our financial modeling courses might well be what you’re looking for. To give you a head start we’ve put together a completely FREE Webinar which covers the basic techniques that will have an immediate impact on your modeling. Our Webinars are live and interactive. You’ll learn some ‘quick win’ modeling techniques that will have a real and lasting impact on the quality of your models, and you’ll have the opportunity to question our expert modelers.
The FAST modeling standard
Financial models must be:
- built under short lead times;
- free of any significant errors;
- changed without difficulty and
- easily understood by others.
Financial models must therefore be:
- Flexible Models must be easily adaptable when new information becomes available
- Accurate Models must faithfully reflect key business assumptions and avoid unnecessary detail
- Structured Maintaining model integrity over time relies on rigorous consistency
- Transparent To make models easily understood calculations need to be simple and clear
...which are the key elements of the FAST modeling standard
The FAST Mechanics Webinar shows in concrete, actionable terms how you can get started in implementing the FAST standard in your models. In 45 minutes we’ll give show you high-impact changes you can make to your modeling approach. This Webinar will not make you an expert modeler, however it will show you a number of easy-to-learn ways that will dramatically improve any model that you create.
