Pro Forma Financial Modeling
The backbone of any strategic or business planning is having an effective Pro Forma Financial Model. Critical to the fundraising and valuation processes, a Pro Forma Financial Model creates a framework that can be validated at the key driver and assumption levels, building prospective investor confidence and allowing for sensitivity analysis to be evaluated across the value creation spectrum of your business.
Beyond investor confidence, an effective Pro Forma Financial Model is a living roadmap that provides milestone assessments for Boards of Directors and Senior Executives to measure a vision’s journey across a broad base of executables from revenue and staffing buildup to COGS and departmental specific overheads. An effective Pro Forma Financial Model is critical for evaluating projected cash flows and determining how, as a startup or early stage venture, to consider tranching your capital for maximum effectiveness.
