Our rules

Every number can be traced.

Three rules hold for every model we build, whatever the business and however much you send.

  • 01

    No hand-written formulas

    Every formula comes from one of 1,500+ building blocks, each tested in Excel before any model uses it.

  • 02

    A source on every input

    Each input notes the document and page it came from. Anything we assumed says so.

  • 03

    Balanced, then reviewed

    Every check passes in every period, and our team reviews the model before it is sent.

What to send

A description is enough. Documents make it sharper.

Send whatever describes the business. We read every page and note where each number came from.

  • A descriptionA few sentences are enough
  • Annual reportsAnd financial statements
  • Management accountsMonthly or yearly
  • Budgets and forecastsYours or your accountant’s
  • Decks and plansFor investors or the bank
  • Rent rolls and leasesFor property and sites
  • Asset registersEquipment, projects, sites
  • A websiteOr any page worth reading

PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, Markdown or text files, up to 25 MB each, and links to any web page.

FAQ

Questions about the process.

Anything else? Talk to us.

  • No. A few sentences about the business and what the model is for are enough. Documents, a website or past results bring the model closer to your own numbers.

  • Usually within the hour. We build the model, check that it balances in every period, and our team reviews it before it is sent.

  • We ask you one clear question rather than guess. Anything we do assume says so on the Inputs sheet, so you can change it.

  • No. Every formula comes from one of our 1,500+ building blocks, each tested in Excel before any model uses it. We choose the blocks for your business and fill in their inputs from what you send.

  • Our system checks that it balances in every period, and our team reviews every model before it is sent. A model is a set of calculations, so check it yourself before you rely on it.
