Throughout the lifecycle of a business, transaction, restructuring, or litigation matter, it’s critical that executives, investors, and other key stakeholders make informed strategic decisions, seize upon opportunities in a timely manner, understand risks and trade-offs, and evaluate different scenarios backed up by reliable financial models.
Our team has an extensive record of helping clients achieve game-changing results – even in times of uncertainty. To date, we have completed hundreds of financial modeling projects for CEOs, CFOs, financial sponsors, bankers, investors, syndicators and developers, public-private partnerships, and other stakeholders.
We deliver actionable insights that inform decision-making and help you determine the best path forward. We also validate existing models to bring you peace of mind and to identify any needed refinements. Our team uses advanced data analytics tools, when needed, to extract, manipulate, and analyze scores of data, and summarize it in an easy-to-digest format.
Acquiring or selling a business
We create robust financial models, including scenarios analyses, for financial sponsors, strategic investors, and business owners to help you make key strategic decisions related to acquisitions, carve-outs, own/operate versus sell decisions, and to identify the best path forward for creating value.
Validating existing models
We provide an objective and independent review of your existing models and assess for consistency and accuracy, test your assumptions, and work with you to ensure your model reflects your economic, tax, and accounting goals.
Settling a dispute
We help you assess damages and devise a settlement strategy supported by financial models and expert testimony in order to resolve disputes.
Bringing new products and services to market
We provide models that help you make key decisions about which products and services to bring to new or existing markets, help you determine what the break-even point and profit margin will be for an individual product or an entire suite of products, and understand areas of risk.
Managing, budgeting, and forecasting
We routinely develop models to support financial planning and analysis (FP&A), and provide analytical tools for decision-making and financial reporting for portfolio companies, as well as for public and private businesses.
Financing a project
Our team provides detailed financial models to developers, sponsors, investors, and public-private partnerships (P3s) to help evaluate and execute optimal financing structures for both tax credit and traditional infrastructure investment opportunities.
Undertaking a workout, restructuring, or bankruptcy
We develop detailed cash flow models to help you stabilize and manage cash, conduct ongoing management, reflect the impact of cost reduction initiatives, prepare budgets and forecasts, and implement long-term recovery solutions to assist in negotiations with lenders and creditors. We also help you turn around underperforming assets and refine performance for recovery and growth.
Bidding on a concession or public private partnership
Our team provides modeling support during the different phases of the due diligence process for infrastructure assets coming to market through a concession or P3. We provide comparative economics, detailed cash flow forecasting and modeling, and help you implement a proper capital structure. We also assist winning bidders with construction monitoring, ongoing management support, and interfacing with regulators.
