Financial modelling for your future
It might sound a bit dramatic. But in all seriousness, a financial model can bridge the gap between where you are and where you really want to be.
But not if it sits in a dusty corner of the internet. It needs to be built for you and show key financials to help you understand when you can hire, if you can expand and whether you’ll need external capital.
It needs to give you the insights that investors expect. And a clear window to the future you want to create.

Regular accountants look backwards

“Standard Ledger has been a massive help, including during capital raising when you need a really good financial model and a CFO who can come to Board meetings and talk numbers.”
“The team has been a financial sounding board for us. They’ve worked with us on all our capital raising, including doing the financial modelling we needed to get our initial investor to back us in the beginning.”
“Standard Ledger developed a financial model that has been invaluable to our growth. It has given us visibility across our cashflow and provided the clarity and confidence we needed to take things to the next level.”
“Standard Ledger was incredibly helpful in reviewing and modelling our finances. Thanks to their support, we reshaped our strategy and identified areas for growth. We are now ready for expansion into new sports and markets.”

Financial models for due diligence
Due diligence is a long, involved process.
Whether you’re a founder or an investor, we can help. We’re experienced in building, reviewing and analysing financial models for capital raising, lending and trade sales.
Please get in touch so we can discuss what you need and provide a quote.
We’ll make your financial model work for you
We’ll sit down with you to understand your business drivers, what you want to achieve and how the model can help. There will be a whiteboard and it will get messy.
We’ll build the first cut of your model, road test it with you and then refine it until it’s solid as a rock.
We’ll spend time refining the model’s presentation layer to suit your needs. Clear data presentation will help you make better decisions – take a look at our Dashboard and Financial Modelling Portfolio for examples.
We’ll help you get hands on with your model (using secure tech). This can be challenging but it will give you the ultimate business insights. You won’t be locked into it though – as your business changes, so will your model.
