Advanced Financial Modelling — Valuation, Analysis and Forecasting Masterclass

Financial models that survive scrutiny — valuation, forecasting, sensitivity and management dashboards built in Excel to a standard an investment committee can rely on.

The programme

Decision-makers face levels of risk and uncertainty that punish rigid analysis; the models behind their choices have to flex without breaking. This hands-on masterclass builds the financial modelling skills to analyse and manage risk and business performance in Excel: efficient, robust and flexible models that report and analyse historical data, project income statement, balance sheet and cash flows stepwise, and present integrated statements, key ratios and outputs in a logical, summarised form. Worked examples demonstrate alternative ways to compute key financial parameters, and the programme introduces business valuation — the methods and the interpretation of their results. The cohort finishes with models tested, audited and reported through management dashboards.

What you will do

Design model structures that scale, applying international spreadsheet best practice from the first cell.
Project income statement, balance sheet and cash flows stepwise into integrated statements and key financial ratios.
Value a business using cash-flow-based and comparable approaches, and interpret what the results actually support.
Run sensitivity, risk, optimisation and targeting analysis against the questions decision-makers ask.
Build management dashboards and reporting that surface the model’s answer, not its plumbing.
Test and audit a model before anyone commits money on its output.
Match model type to application, from forecasting and analysis to full valuation.

Who attends

  • Financial analysts, controllers and finance managers

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

What level of experience does this advanced modelling masterclass assume?

It is designed for professionals who already build or review models — financial analysts, controllers and finance managers, corporate financiers, investment bankers, and private equity and credit analysts. The work is hands-on in Excel, applying international spreadsheet best practice to models that report historical data and project the statements stepwise.

Does the masterclass cover business valuation?

Yes. The programme introduces business valuation within the model: valuation concepts, the methods — including the comparable cash flow approach — and how to interpret what the results actually support. Worked examples demonstrate alternative ways to compute key financial parameters, and models finish tested, audited and reported through management dashboards.

How is the masterclass organised — languages, dates and fees?

Delivery is available in English and French. Sessions run on a rolling calendar, with dates confirmed on request, and fees and quotations are provided on enquiry. An in-house edition tailored to your institution is available, allowing the valuation and forecasting work to reflect the sectors and transactions your team actually models.
